Murders, harassment and disappearances. The reality of Latin American journalists in the XXI century Bernardo Díaz Nosty [CV] [ ORCID] [ GS] Chair professor of Journalism and Director of the Unesco Chair in Communication - Universidad de Málaga, UMA, Spain–nosty@uma.es Ruth A. de Frutos García [CV] [ ORCID] [ GS] Coordinator of the Unesco Chair in Communication - Universidad de Málaga, UMA, Spain – ruth.defrutos@uma.es Abstract Introduction: journalists in Latin America continue to face numerous threats in the exercise of their journalistic profession, which has increased the concern of the international community over its protection in recent years. Methodology: The objective of this research is to analyse nearly 500 cases of murders and disappearances in Latin America from 2000 to the present, as well as to elaborate on a profuse bibliographic review of the main sources of information and national and international programs in this regard. Results and conclusions: The results show a considerable gap between the international willingness to create programs for the protection and fight against impunity, the complex and insecure national realities in the region, and the number of information professionals who died or disappeared violently in Latin America. Keywords Journalism; Latin America; aggression; violence; threats.
