## Context CPJ began compiling detailed records on journalist deaths in 1992. CPJ applies strict journalistic standards when investigating a death. One important aspect of their research is determining whether a death was work-related. As a result, they classify deaths as "motive confirmed" or "motive unconfirmed." ## Content The dataset contains 18 variables: * **Type**: CPJ classified deaths as motive confirmed or motive confirmed, as well as Media Workers * **Date** * **Name** * **Sex** * **Country_killed** * **Organization** * **Nationality** * **Medium** * **Job** * **Coverage** * **Freelance** * **Local_Foreign** * **Source_fire** * **Type_death** * **Impunity_for_murder** * **Taken_captive** * **Threatened** * **Tortured** ## Acknowledgements The original dataset can be found [here](https://cpj.org/killed/2016/). ## Inspiration Some ideas for exploring the dataset: * What is the trend in journalist deaths over time and how does this differ by type of death, job, coverage, and country? * Are there differences by sex and/or nationality?
