NEW YORK — Covering wars and elections proved dangerous to journalists in 2009, a watchdog group said Wednesday. Reporters Without Borders said 76 journalists were killed in 2009 — 30 of them in a single incident, covering an election on the Philippines’ Mindanao Island.

The 2009 killings represented a 26 percent increase over 2008, when 60 journalists were killed, the group said.
