This project will examine the conditions under which violence is perpetrated against members of the press. The media is generally seen as an institution playing a crucial role in good governance by holding powerful actors to account. Yet it is precisely this position that can sometimes make journalists and other media workers vulnerable to pressure by both state and non-state actors, from threats to detention to outright killings. This project will produce a new data set of media deaths worldwide, alongside a series of data sets on other forms of media violence within specific countries. The project will provide systematic evidence of the causes and consequences of both lethal and non-lethal violence committed by different sorts of perpetrators against the media. Results from this project will improve the understanding of scholars and practitioners of when, where, and how the media are targeted, which has substantial security, legal, and human rights implications.This project will develop a theoretical framework examining the contexts under which various forms of violence against the media by state and non-state perpetrators takes place. To test these theoretical propositions, a new and comprehensive data set covering all killings and non-natural deaths of members of the media worldwide will be collected for the period 1992-2020. These cross-national data will be complemented by a series of sub-national databases within several countries measuring other forms violence against the media, including threats, arrests, and attacks. Results from this project will contribute to existing scholarly research on media freedoms, political violence, and the rule of law. The data sets generated will be made publicly available to the wider scholarly community so that experts can employ these data for their own research purposes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将研究针对新闻界成员实施暴力的条件。通常，媒体被视为通过让强大的演员负责的机构在善政中发挥关键作用。然而，正是这种立场有时可以使记者和其他媒体工人容易受到州和非国家行为者的压力，从威胁到拘留到彻底的杀戮。该项目将在全球范围内生产新的媒体死亡数据集，以及有关特定国家内其他形式的媒体暴力行为的一系列数据集。该项目将提供系统的证据，证明不同种类的肇事者对媒体造成的致命和非致命暴力的原因和后果。该项目的结果将提高对学者和从业人员的理解，即何时，何处以及如何针对媒体，具有实质性的安全，法律和人权的影响。该项目将开发一个理论框架，研究各种形式的环境发生了国家和非国家肇事者对媒体的暴力行为。为了测试这些理论主张，将在1992 - 2020年期间收集一个涵盖全球媒体成员所有杀戮和非自然死亡的新的全面数据集。这些跨国数据将由几个国家 /地区的一系列次国数据库进行补充，这些数据库衡量了针对媒体的其他形式的暴力行为，包括威胁，逮捕和攻击。该项目的结果将有助于现有关于媒体自由，政治暴力和法治的学术研究。生成的数据集将公开向更广泛的学术界公开使用，以便专家可以将这些数据用于自己的研究目的。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来支持的。审查标准。
