MODULE FIVE: Journalists’ Safety and (Un)professional Practices

OUTLINE

    Journalist murdered in Balochistan, Pakistan

    Mujahid had written “Quetta Ki Diary” in the paper for the past few years
    and was also an eye doctor. The editor of the publication he worked for
    had given it an opinionated headline that humiliated the leader of one of
    the groups involved in the insurgency.

    The group immediately claimed responsibility, saying it was in revenge for
    an article about the killing one of its leaders. The article did not
    criticise him but the headline on it was strongly worded.
