Violence related to corruption and drug trafficking is eroding press freedom in Mexico, where intimidation and murders are driving journalists out of the profession. Since 2007, more than 25 media professionals have been killed or disappeared in Mexico.
Knight International Fellow Benjamín Fernández has helped the publisher of Síntesis newspapers, Armando Prida, launch the Foundation for Freedom of Expression in Mexico. The organization helps journalists use Mexico’s access-to-information law, master their legal rights and find ways to get legal protection.
Join the International Correspondents Committee and the Knight International Fellowship at 10:30 am Tuesday, July 28, in the McClendon Room for a talk with Fernández and Prida, moderated by the International Center for Journalist’s Latin American expert Luis Botello.
