Proposal:Category should be restricted to journalists killed "in line of duty" edit

I like this category a lot, as it focuses attention on the dangers involved in practicing journalism. However, I notice on the USA list that two of the people (Anne Pressly and Jennifer Servo) are said to have died as a result of a robbery and a personal dispute. I think they should be removed from the list.

Fyi, Wiki Category: Killed Journalists by Country also includes Afghanistan, Georgia, Iraq, Russia, and Somalia.NinetyNineFennelSeeds (talk) 21:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree with the comment above about Pressly and Servo. They have not been included on the Wikipedia page List of journalists killed in the United States. How about if I change the introduction and add the focus "in line of duty" in that article but keep them here.Crtew (talk) 15:57, 21 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Immigrant journalists killed edit

"Most of those killed between 1976 and 1993 were immigrant journalists working in languages other than English, who received little national media attention."

Are there any Wiki articles on these journalists?NinetyNineFennelSeeds (talk) 21:29, 15 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes, work is being done now to develop a Wikipedia article about the Little Haiti killings in the early 1990s. An article about Manuel de Dios Unanue just passed Article for Creation. See List of journalists killed in the United States. If you are interested in creating an article for one of those listed, please tell on that talk page.
