16 April 2025 17:45 (UTC +04:00)

Reporters Without Borders has released a report on attacks on media representatives in Germany in 2024, APA reports.

In 2024, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) documented 89 attacks on media professionals and media organizations, as revealed in the newly published “Close-Up 2025: RSF Report on Press Freedom in Germany”. The research also sheds light on many other aspects of press freedom – for example, on the topics of legislation and surveillance – and this year, for the first time, deals with the special challenges surrounding Middle East reporting for German journalists. A total of 75 out of the 89 attacks RSF documented for Germany in 2024, involved physical violence against the body or equipment of journalists. 14 other attacks targeted newsrooms or journalists' homes.

The numbers have doubled since the 41 documented attacks in 2023.
