This is a list article. Per WP:SAL, standalone list pages are "articles the main components of which are one or more embedded lists or series of items discussed in prose form." Looking at the page in its current state, it does not appear at all obvious that it is focused on a standalone list. Ideally, the lede section "summarizes its content, provides any necessary background information, gives encyclopedic context, links to other relevant articles, and makes direct statements about the criteria by which members of the list were selected, unless inclusion criteria are unambiguously clear from the article title." However, now there is both a lede section and an overview section. The page also features a third, discrete 'controversy' section, which is generally discouraged. Provided it's not undue, such critical material should instead be incorporated into the main body of the text. That material also comes from an opinion piece largely based on unsubstantiated rumours, which WP:NEWSORG likewise discourages ("The reporting of rumors has a limited encyclopedic value, although in some instances verifiable information about rumors may be appropriate. Wikipedia is not the place for passing along gossip and rumors"). In addition, undue weight is placed on the murder early on of a few foreign journalists, when CPJ stats actually indicate that around 74% of journalists killed were locally-based. Some inaccurate, non-summary material on the death of a particular journalist was also tacked on (Barkhad Awale Adan was killed by a stray bullet during fighting between Al-Shabaab militants and AMISOM soliders, not TFG troops). This is also the second such obviously misattributed BLP material I've spotted in as many days. Given the forgoing, I've restructured the material into a proper, single lede, and trimmed down the Osman/NUSOJ material as well as some of the bio lines already covered in the table.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of journalists killed during the Somali Civil War. Please take a moment to review my edit.
