While each of the six selected cases is unique and condemnable in its own right, the authors identify both parallels and contrasts across them to consider both the individual stories and the ways in which they fit into a larger grim picture of the perils that journalists face. The cases are also examined in the context of the broader media landscape, tracing the evolution of traditional to contemporary digital journalism to form a deeper understanding of how this evolution has impacted violence against journalists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese stories of slain journalists from Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Venezuela, Palestine, and Malta are illustrated not only as tributes to their ultimate sacrifice for a noble cause, but also as a call to action toward considering and implementing violence prevention measures for journalists around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56399531311448,"sku":"9781666964318","price":92.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781666964318_ed9940cb-bb9b-4f2c-a71d-2fd5e9350b3f.jpg?v=1778711428","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/silencing-journalism-by-murder","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
