Journalists being killed almost certainly refers to journalists actively reporting on the war, embedded in units, the ones with passes. They are actively linked to orgs so when they die they’re accounted for as a killed journalist.
I think including every single death of a civilian who happened to be a journalist but wasn’t working as one would be too literal an interpretation.
Even then, the number of official German, Japanese, and North Vietnamese journalists that died is not included and presumably not small. The WWII and Vietnam casualty counts are for the journalists of the stronger power fighting a war on its enemy’s territory so I suppose it could be meaningful to compare them to the number of Israeli journalists killed, but they’re not really relevant in the context of Palestinian journalists.
