Wow, that is a mighty slippery slope you are on. You do realise that with the same rationale, all Western media outlets are propagandists in the eyes of nations like Russia, Iran & China? Do we really want the precedent to be that it is okay to kill journalists as long as they disagree with you?

What I'm stating here is that it is not a list of "deaths" or war deaths, but a list of "journalist killed". This can easily be used as a "propaganda tool" regarding the fact that in a lot of places, anyone can claim to be a journalist whatever its actions.
My point is that if you are killed doing the coverage of an event, while you were a kind of neutral third party, that is a shame. At the opposite, if you are journalist working for producing content affiliated with a party, and you are yourself involved, like sometimes you are holding a gun yourself, it is not the same thing.
But a lot of persons can abuse of the ambiguities for political purpose.
