4. Journalisim in Mexico
 Mexico’s so dangerous for journalists;
- highest levels of unsolved crimes against the press.
- 100 media workers have been killed or disappeared since 2000.
 Some newspapers in Mexico;
- Self-cencored and stopped writing about drug trafficking and organized crime.
- Are forced to write what a Criminal Organization orders them to publish (about
poliçe reports, government releases
- , while others, however, are forced to write what a drug trafficking organization
orders them to publish.

5.  Criminal Organizations target journalists,
to silence the press in the areas they operate in, and especially when the groups are
trying to establish their presence in an area.
 Cartels want;
A silent press because keeping an image that the city is safe can prevent the Mexican
government from sending more federal troops to the area.
•When the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ruled the presidency in the 1930s
following the Revolution lead by Pancho Villa, the Mexican government practically
monopolized the press in Mexico in order to get favurable coverage in the media.
Journalists who complied with the modus operandi* were paid with government
handouts and gifts; those who did not were intimidated and/or killed.
 *Modus Operandi: to describe someone's habits of working, particularly in the
context of business or criminal investigations.

6. To Be an Honest Journalist is Death

7. At a Mexico City protest against anti-press violence, a poster recalls the slain journalist Valentine Valdés Espinosa

8. Rubén Espinosa took this photograph of a 2012 protest in honor of slain Proceso colleague
Regina Martínez. Three years later, he was murdered in Mexico City

9. Committee to Protect Journalists
 Mexico's impunity rating has more than doubled since it first appeared on the
index in 2008. Nineteen journalists covering crime and corruption were
murdered with complete impunity over the last decade. In 2013, Mexico
introduced legislation to enable federal authorities in Mexico to prosecute
crimes against journalists, but the measure has failed to yield prosecutions,
disappointing journalists and freedom of expression advocates. Since its
passage, six more journalists have been murdered with impunity. In a chilling
development this July, Mexican photographer Rubén Espinosa was tortured
and murdered in Mexico City, previously considered a safe haven for
journalists facing threats in Veracruz and other cartel-dominated states.

10. Reporters Without Borders
 Violence and impunity: Land of the drug cartels, Mexico continues to be
the western hemisphere’s deadliest country for the media. Murders of
journalists are typically carried out in cold blood, like executions, and
almost always go unpunished. This impunity accounts for the widespread
corruption. Some elected officials are directly linked to organized crime.
Ownership of the broadcast media is extremely concentrated, with two
media groups owning almost all the TV stations.
 149 in the 2016 World Press Freedom Index.

office, accompanied by 30 personnel from the elite state police Fuerza
Coahuila, entered the home of the newspaper’s publisher, Armando
Castilla Galindo, and removed all his possessions.

preventing the publisher from returning home. In the process, Castilla was

‘SOMETIMES’ gets their press’ translated to encourage American
viewership. Sometimes they translate American press into Spanish,
especially in borders like Texas, New Mexico.
 For instance, El Universal creates both English and Spanish news.
