Reporters Without Borders report on journalist (and journalist helpers) deaths in Iraq:

Reporters Without Borders said 84 journalists, including translators and drivers, have been killed.

By contrast, 63 journalists were killed during 22 years of conflict in Vietnam.
……
The group says more than half the journalists killed in Iraq have been deliberately targeted, which it says is a much higher rate than in previous wars.

Of those killed, 77 percent were Iraqis. Many were working for foreign media.
