Trainee journalist in Sri Lanka murdered

A student journalist in Sri Lanka was shot after being woken up and called out of his house. He later died from his injuries in hospital. Nilakshan Sahapavan, 22, was studying at the Jaffna media resource training centre while working as a part-time journalist. He is the eighth media worker killed in Jaffna since May last year. The International Press Freedom Mission, which visited Sri Lanka in June, named Jaffna as one of the worst places to be a journalist in the world today. (Via IOL)
