United Nations, 10 February 2009 - The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), is launching its annual report "Attacks on the Press". Joel Simon, CPJ Executive Director is introducing the report. In 2008, the numbers of journalists killed and jailed both dropped for the first time since the war on terror was launched in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. This is welcome news, but it is tempered by harsh realities. The war on terror had a devastating effect on journalists, and the trends will be difficult to reverse. Over seven years, journalists were targeted for murder in record numbers, while deterioration in the international legal environment led to a surge in journalist imprisonments.
