Over the past decade, 945 photojournalists and correspondents have been killed while covering conflict zones, 583 of these without any resulting prosecutions as war crimes.
90 journalists were killed while reporting from war zones in 2012 alone.
Led by Aidan Sullivan, Vice President at Getty Images, A Day Without News? brings the media and photo industries together to raise awareness, seek justice and lobby governments to pursue those who cause harm.
