Reuters: Violence against journalists hits unprecedented levels: RSF
PARIS (Reuters) - The murder of Saudi columnist Jamal Khashoggi in a year when more than half of all journalists killed were targeted deliberately reflects a hatred of the media in many areas of society, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said on Tuesday.
At least 63 professional journalists around the world were killed doing their jobs in 2018, RSF said, a 15 percent increase on last year. The number of fatalities rises to 80 when including all media workers and citizen journalists.

Placing the USA on here is a joke compared tpo Mexico and the Middle East,. 4 killed by a revenge killing (active shooter), and 2 killed when a tree fell on them.
I doubt if Obama was President they'd even had listed it.
