Another editor murdered in the Philippines

From the Committee to Protect Journalists: Philip Agustin, editor and publisher of the local weekly Starline Times Recorder, was killed last night in the village of Paltic, about 70 miles northeast of the capital Manila, according to local news reports. A special edition of the Starline Times Recorder dedicated to corruption and illegal logging was slated to come out the next week. At least 18 journalists have been murdered in reprisal for their work in the Philippines since 2000, making it the most murderous country for journalists in the world, according to CPJ research.
