Reply to comment by IntermittentCaribu in Nearly 1,700 journalists killed over past 20 years, says Reporters Without Borders by DoremusJessup

It doesn’t make sense to compare the number of journalists killed to the number of non journalists killed in this situation. Obviously the number of non journalists would be much much higher. These two groups of people are also largely being killed for different reasons. Why do you think this is a worthless number?

The goal would be to compare the percentages. Are you more likely to get killed in Syria as a journalist or as a used car salesman? If its the same, what is the point of this article? Dont go to Syria?
