Journalism is one of the most relevant pillars of a democracy. A state with journalists ensures a free voice and the right to question those in power. However, for many journalists around the world, truth comes with a cost: the cost of their own lives.

The deaths of these journalists show the reality of how the world works. People who raised their voices, questioned those in power, and exposed uncomfortable truths were silenced.
