Je suis Charlie: the journalists killed in the line of duty in the last 12 months

Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane "Charb" Charbonnier and eight of his 
  colleagues joined 61 other media workers who were killed exercising free 
  expression in the last year

There was a global outpouring of horror at the 
  brutal killings in Paris, in which 12 people - including nine 
  Charlie Hebdo journalists - were left dead. Vigils 
  were held everywhere from London’s Trafalgar Square to Chile’s Antofagasta, 
  as people rallied in defiance of what was perceived as an attack on free 
  speech, and in solidarity with the deceased. 


But the attack has also shed light on the many other journalists who died in 
  the last 12 months because of their work, and the challenges that many have 
  to compete with to try and do their job. It emerged that some Charlie Hebdo 
  staff were already protected by bodyguards following threats and a previous 
  attack on the office building in 2011. 


The Committee to Protect 
  Journalists has tracked the deaths of 61 other journalists whose 
  deaths were “work-related”, including when they were killed “in direct 
  reprisal for his or her work". It can be no surprise that Syria, where 
  17 journalists were killed, was the deadliest, followed by Ukraine and Iraq. 


The graphic above includes every journalist who was killed, including where 
  they died and who they worked for, in remembrance of their life and work.
