I don't know how to interpret the front page saying "More than 100 journalists killed in six months in Gaza" directly above a "real time" abuse barometer saying

  Different (overlapping) time spans Probably different measuring / classifications at play too. For example, they may be including independent journalists in one set vs only recognized outlets in another. --- edit, they have the following note in the barometer > Journalists are listed only if RSF has established that their death or imprisonment was linked to their journalistic activity. The list does not include journalists who were killed or imprisoned for reasons unrelated to their work or when the link to their work has not yet been confirmed. https://rsf.org/en/barometer?type%5Btue%5D=tue&annee_start=2024&annee_end=2024#exaction-victimes:~:text=Journalists%20are%20listed%20only%20if%20RSF%20has%20established%20that%20their%20death%20or%20imprisonment%20was%20linked%20to%20their%20journalistic%20activity.%20The%20list%20does%20not%20include%20journalists%20who%20were%20killed%20or%20imprisoned%20for%20reasons%20unrelated%20to%20their%20work%20or%20when%20the%20link%20to%20their%20work%20has%20not%20yet%20been%20confirmed https://rsf.org/en/barometer?type%5Btue%5D=tue&annee_start=2....

  There hasn't been six months in 2024 yet, for one. Many of the deaths could have been in Nov and Dec.

    The problem is, if you look at 2023, they only count 50 deaths in the barometer. Something is definitely amiss, see my peer comment
