VIOLENCE AND FEAR WREAK HAVOC ON MEXICAN BORDER CITY’S MEDIA
Tagged: border, corruption, crime, Mexico“In the border city of Nuevo Laredo in Northern Mexico, where violent crime and corruption are rampant, local media have been cowed into silence and self-censorship, according to a new report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
Afraid of being targeted, journalists censor themselves by refusing to name members of the drug cartels who are fighting for control of Nuevo Laredo or of their victims. Some journalists have even stopped going out to cover a story after dark or in the early morning.”
