Journalists die and their killers go free, and this tells you where it's the worst

Getting Away with Murder

The Committee to Protect Journalists recently released their Impunity Index, a measure to determine what ratio of unsolved journalist murders were found when compared to a country's population. They list the top 13 offenders, where journalists have been slain and governments have been unable or unwilling to catch their killer, covering the years 2001-2010. This year's and last year's rankings are shown. Russia appears to be doing better, while things are spiraling for Mexico. It's a grim look at the reality of places where it's vital to get word out of what is happening, and many brave men and women do so every day, but the dangers are great.
