Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)



Media watchdog CPJ reviews Gaza journalist death toll amid Hamas obituaries row, internal dispute

  • Committee to Protect Journalists removed 20 names from its database of media workers killed in the Israel-Gaza war after finding that some listed individuals had been identified as Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad combatants
  • CPJ said review was intended to ensure no one actively engaged in combat remained on its lists, no plans to formally redefine who counts as a journalist
  • Announcement drew sharp criticism from outside and within the organization, with board Nika Soon-Shiong raising concerns about the review’s scope before her departure from the board
