A risky profession

Forty-eight journalists have been killed so far in 2018; four of them in Europe. Viktoria Marinova of Bulgraia is the latest. Maltese investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was killed by a car bomb in October. Slovakian investigative journalist Jan Kuciak and his girlfriend were shot to death in February. Swedish freelance journalist Kim Wall was killed and mutilated last year by a Danish inventor. 

And we have the case of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian journalist for the Washington Post, who may have been killed while visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last week.
