The news this week that James Foley, a journalist from the United States of America, was murdered in Iraq, has once again thrown the spotlight on the fact that hundreds of journalists are killed while doing their job. The International Federation of Journalists (IJF) has condemned this killing as well as that of the other 66 journalists and media workers that have already been killed this year. The IJF has initiated a campaign in defence of journalist, focusing initially on Iraq, Pakistan and Russia. The IJF has also produced a campaign video called ‘End Impunity’.
