Synopsis


The so-called war against organized crime started in 2007 multiplied the violence in the country and that wave took with it the life of several journalists that were suppressed on its wake. Others, though alive, have been victims of aimed aggressions to control the news agenda and the rights of the population to be freely informed. Contrary to what millions of people expected the current governmental administration has maintained the raising tendency of violence towards journalists, and the federal government has been accused of promoting this aggression on the new battlefield of social media. Likewise, even if the expenditure waned significantly between 2018 and 2019, money as a tool for editorial control is still a feature in the governments of Mexico.
