Mexico, narco traffick and journalistsJanuary 14, 2008 · No Comments
Browsing through my feeds this morning, I came across this story on the Los Angeles Times which documents well the experiences many journalists working in Mexico covering the drug trade experience.
Although studies have found that violence against journalists stems as much from Government officials as it does from narco-traffic, Hector’s piece really gives some insight into the reality for many in the profession.

MexicoReporter, thanks for posting this. Do your personal experiences confirm the observations in this story?

No, because I'm not covering the narcotraffick story. I also work out of Mexico City, which is relatively safe when compared to the outer states.

where is safe for journalists to stay in Mexico? hostels? hotels?

Hello MexicoReporter,
I think it's just as well that you're not covering that stuff, even though it's good news! I think we'd rather have you safe. :)
This was a great story, which I enjoyed reading .. thank you!
