[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

Freelancers — including Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchina — accounted for more than 1/3 of total journalist killings in 2024, with at least 43 freelancers killed, an unprecedented increase in CPJ’s history. Freelance journalists often face heightened vulnerabilities and uncertainty due to their independent status, and may lack institutional support or legal protections, which can affect their safety.
