The death toll for Journalists has risen in the past 12 months.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 69 journalists lost their lives in the line of duty - this compares with 61 journalists who were killed in 2014.
The Charlie Hebdo murders in January have catapulted France to second place in an annual list of the world's most deadly countries for journalists.
The nine journalists killed in the attack left France second only to Syria, where 13 journalists were killed in 2015 in the course of their work.
40 percent of those killed were killed by Islamic extremists.
