National Journalist Day Comes Amid Rising Attacks on Media
Afghanistan on Wednesday observed National Journalists Day, as the level of violence against journalists and media workers has dramatically increased.
According to statistics, at least 11 journalists and media workers were killed in Afghanistan during various incidents and over 100 media workers and journalists lost their jobs for various reasons, in the last solar year.
Khairul Banat has worked in a private media outlet for the past three years, covering various topics.
She says that alongside threats and targeted killings, the journalist community in Afghanistan also faces a lack of access to information.
