Journalism in Times of Threats, Censorship and Violence Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas


Here's a piece I recieved from a mentor of mine that meshes with the last posting.


The gist of the piece is this:

"Some of them live under threat, enduring forced silences via terror and daily shootouts in broad daylight. They have friends who have been kidnapped or killed. But they keep on, trying to figure out how to report. They are not war reporters, they don’t wear bullet-proof vests or helmets, nor are they in Iraq or Afghanistan. They are the ones who cover one of the most complex and dangerous stories in the world: the journalists reporting on drug trafficking and violence from the border between Mexico and the United States."
