IN THE past year, at least six Philippine journalists have been murdered by gunmen.
This much is clear: despite the avowed priority given by the administration of President Benigno S. Aquino III to solving the murders of media and ridding the country of the culture of impunity, the killings of journalists in the country continue unabated.
In the second-to-the-last part of the Media Killings Series of documentaries by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, the PCIJ looks at some of the reasons why the murders continue unabated. Many thought that the entry of a new administration that espouses strong democratic and liberal beliefs would herald a dramatic shift in the culture of violence against journalists. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
