New Knight Center map chronicles attacks on journalists in Central America
The Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas has created an interactive map chronicling attacks against journalists in Central America, focusing particularly on arrests, attacks and killings of media workers in the region. The map shows data from March 2010 through December 2011, and reflects patterns found in recent global media reports. In Honduras, where the press was deemed “not free” according to a 2011 Freedom House report, 17 journalists have been killed since January 2010, making it the country with the second-highest murder rate for journalists in Latin America, after Mexico. None of these crimes against journalists have been solved, pointing to a trend of rampant impunity that is paralleled throughout the region. This map is part of a series of original projects from the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas and will be updated as new attacks occur. (Knight Center)
