Скачать или смотреть Silencing journalists in Mexico - The Listening Post (Lead)

Drug cartels, corrupt officials and a climate of impunity make Mexico the most dangerous place for journalists in the Western hemisphere. After journalist Miroslava Breach became the third reporter to be killed in a month, one newspaper has now stopped printing altogether.

The reason given had nothing to do with digital technology or slumping ad revenues - the things with which newspapers around the world are struggling. Its owner said he was closing his paper after 27 years because continuing to report the news in Mexico is just too dangerous.
