  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 69%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Killings of journalists and other media workers jumped 50% in 2022, with an average of one journalist killed every four days, according to new figures released by the United Nations.
  Statistics from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Observatory of killed journalists released Monday showed that a total of 86 journalists and media workers were killed globally in 2022, a sharp increase from the average of 58 killings per year from 2019-2021.
  The U.N. noted that the dramatic spike in killings last year reverses what had been a downward trend since 2018, when the U.N. reported 99 killings of journalists and media workers globally.

context: I'm not surprised that Mexico is number 1 on that list, but I am surprised at how much worse they are than almost anywhere else. Looks like Haiti is worse adjusting for population size but I'd pretty much expected that. And I suspect that some countries are probably undercounted since it can be hard to get accurate data out of some places. >
  
  Our president even laughs when journalists ask for help because they're afraid, shit, just some weeks ago, a major journalist almost got killed in a hit and run, what did AMLO do? Call the whole ordeal a campaign to attack him, our dear AMLO making an almost tragedy an issue about him, fucking comedy gold. >
