I totally agree with Michael David. Local journalists are frequently slain by repressive regimes, while international journalists are frequently killed in the line of fire. These should be separate categories. If someone wants to create a "Slain Journalist" category, then feel free. davestraub 11:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. Need two individual Categories to separate persons whose occupation is as a journalist and is murdered (say in their home) from persons who are journalists and are murdered while performaing their job (role) as a journalist.

Killed in action and murdered are not the same at all. No more for journalists than for soldiers. Chicheley 09:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
