“It was almost a year ago that three masked gunmen armed with grenades and assault rifles stormed into the newsroom at El Manana, a daily paper in the border town of Nuevo Laredo, killing one reporter and leaving a second paralyzed for life.
These days El Mananas newsroom is protected by a bulletproof barrier, but its effect is largely symbolic, as much as anything a barrier of silence, a statement of what cant be said. The atmosphere among reporters and residents of this Mexican town of about 500,000 is still one of fear and wariness.”
