Record-High 129 Journalists Killed in 2025, Israel Responsible for the Majority

CPJ reports a record 129 journalists and media workers killed in 2025, with Israel responsible for about two-thirds of deaths and the majority of the 47 cases classified as murders; drone strikes caused 39 killings, most in Gaza, marking a sharp rise in drone-based journalism fatalities. Ukraine and Sudan deaths rose but remain far below Israel’s toll, and Palestinians in Gaza comprise the bulk of victims. Impunity remains widespread, with few investigations or accountability, and CPJ calls for international investigations and reforms to protect the press and hold perpetrators to account.

Journalists Arrested by Federal Agents While Filming Minnesota Church Protest

Federal agents arrested journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort for filming a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lemon was detained while covering the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles after a magistrate rejected earlier charges; Fort was arrested with a warrant accusing her of conspiracy against the right of religious freedom and interfering with religious exercise. The arrests come amid ongoing protests linked to ICE and church leadership, with other individuals detained and church leaders commenting on the situation. The episode prompted condemnations from Minnesota news outlets and raised concerns about press freedom and First Amendment protections for journalists covering protests.
