Brussels urges member states to ‘protect’ reporters amid recent spike in killings and widespread online threats.
The European Union’s executive arm asked its member countries on Thursday to better protect journalists amid a rise of physical attacks and online threats against media professionals.
According to the European Commission, 908 journalists and media workers were attacked across the 27-nation bloc in 2020.
A total of 23 journalists have been killed in the EU since 1992, with the majority of the killings taking place during the past six years.
