NEW YORK — NEW YORK — At least 60 jour- nalists around the world were killed in 2014 while on the job or because of their work, and 44 percent of them were targeted for murder, the Committee to Protect Journalists said. An “unusually high proportion,” or about one- fourth, of those killed were international journalists, though the overwhelm- ing number of journalists threatened continue to be local, the New York-based Merry Christmas organization’s new report said.
