Committee to Protect Journalists audits list of slain Gaza reporters after terror groups claim some as their own

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is set to review its database of journalists killed during the Israel-Hamas war. This decision follows claims from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad that some individuals listed as journalists were, in fact, members of their organizations.

CPJ has clarified its criteria for including names in its database, emphasizing that it only recognizes individuals working as journalists. This audit reflects the complexities of media reporting in conflict zones, particularly in Gaza.
