Last month Pope Francis honoured journalists killed covering the Russia-Ukraine war, saying he hoped God would reward them for serving the common good
Pope Francis on Sunday paid tribute to journalists who have died or been jailed in the line of duty, defending a free press and praising those in the media who courageously report on “humanity’s wounds”.
“I render homage to journalists who pay in person for this right,” he said, citing statistics that 47 journalists were killed and more than 350 jailed last year. “A special thanks to those who, with courage, keep us informed about humanity’s wounds,” the pope said. The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists says it has confirmed that at least seven journalists have died while covering the war in Ukraine and is investigating whether others were killed because of their work.
