By far the deadliest place for journalists was in the Palestinian territories, where 25 deaths were officially recorded last year. Palestine also topped the list in 2024, with 21 recorded deaths that year. Following some way behind are Mexico with nine deaths, Peru with four, Ecuador and Ukraine with three, as well as Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan with two.

Since Israel claims Palestine as part of its territory, that map should have Israel as the most dangerous country for journalists.

Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) refers to it as 'Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory'!

It’s not the same source, on the map the source is RSF, and this one is CPJ.

The State of World Press FreedomThe State of World Press Freedom

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) just released the 2026 version of its World Press Freedom Index. This year, the release highlights that press freedom in the world is at a 25-year low, with over half of the world’s countries now falling into the “difficult” or “very serious” categories for the first time in the history of the index. Only 13.7% of countries fell under these categories in 2002. The organization also notes that press freedom has declined in 100 out of 180 countries this year.

I respect the people that report what is happening in the world and all but war zones aren't place I would want to report from.
To see Palestine up there is something to make people scare to visit the county.
