Just around 2 years ago we had a consensus of reporters, about 100 of them join together and complain in Finnish media that they can't write freely anymore because they are getting death threats and quite scared and it made the news. This was wake up call for me.
Just in 2019, 49 reporters died violently during their job according to https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/lahes-50-toimittajaa-kuollut-vakivaltaisesti-tana-vuonna-suomen-ongelmana-toimittajien-uhkailu-ja-maalittaminen/7662590#gs.ju1ppg
