Sedition and defamation cases are not the only way in which journalists are silenced. A new report highlights the infliction of violent means on vulnerable small town media-persons through case studies based on probe in three deaths.

The Committee to Protect Journalists' report is titled "Dangerous pursuit: In India, journalists who cover corruption may pay with their lives." It has been written and complied through the efforts of CPJ's Asia Program senior research associate Sumit Galhotra and freelancers such as Raksha Kumar and Aayush Soni. The foreword has been written by award winning journalist P Sainath.
