All MEAA members are invited to a vigil Saturday, November 2, to commemorate the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists and to lament the killing of all journalists and media workers over the last two years.
This is a solemn vigil to lament the killing of our media colleagues over the last two years — please leave signage/banners at home to keep the space respectful and reflective.
The war in Gaza has exacted an unprecedented and horrific toll on Palestinian journalists and the region’s media landscape. At least 128 journalists and media workers, all but five of them Palestinian, have been killed – more journalists than have died in the course of any year since the Committee to Protect Journalists began documenting journalist killings in 1992.
The vigil will include the reading of the names of all journalists and media workers who have been killed on duty over the last two years
