From the archives: Journalism at the U.S.-Mexico border orates histories of drug violence, threats and murders perpetrated by cartels and corrupt government officials, making Mexico one of the most dangerous places to practice journalism. Corrupt
are calling on Mexican authorities to continue the investigation to bring all of those people who are responsible for that crime to justice.
Texas Observer: Has the Mexican federal protection program and the networks of safe houses saved journalists’ lives?Yes. I think we were seeing that between 1,100 and 1,500 people are under protection at the federal level, though the program has the same number of staffers as it had when it began. We were really surprised when we learned about how many folks were moving within Mexico or abroad.
I would venture to say that part of the reason for the lack of collaboration elsewhere is because legacy media outlets on the U.S. side are not considering Mexico/the border as part of their readers’ or listeners’ or viewers’ interests. And in fact, in certain parts of the border, it’s discouraged and prohibited for journalists to even cross into Mexico. I’m talking about the Brownsville/Matamoros area and Laredo/Nuevo Laredo.
