Journalists killed in Syria

This report is the latest in our series on Syria. Today’s report lists all journalists killed in Syria since the end of last year up to and including the end of August this year whose deaths we have been able to verify. The list includes citizen journalists where we have been able to identify properly sourced reports of their deaths. We have depended on the lists provided by other organisations such as Reporters without Borders but we have not included names on their lists that we have been unable to check:
