>I think it's important to distinguish between journalists who work in dangerous zones and get killed by accident vs intentional killings, usually to suppress the press.

Which I mentioned in my comment.

The site lets you filter (for motive confirmed), 861 of the 1342 motive-confirmed were flat out murdered with 301 killed in crossfire and 172 on 'dangerous assignments'.

That's 64% and I imagine the remaining unconfirmed motive ones are a similar percentage.

Even if it was 1%, that is 1% too many.
