Journalists reporting, and surviving, Ciudad Juárez, Mexico

Mike O’Connor, head of the Committee for the Protection of Journalists here in Mexico, filed the following report about journalists working in the northern border town of Ciudad Juarez (see a dispatch from Mexico correspondent Ken Ellingwood from December last year on the violence gripping the city).

“For the press, Ciudad Juárez is among the most dangerous cities in one of the deadliest countries in the world. CPJ research shows that 27 journalists have been killed in Mexico since 2000, at least 10 in direct reprisal for their work, and that seven more have disappeared. In November, veteran police reporter Armando Rodríguez was shot dead in front of his home in Ciudad Juárez. State investigators told CPJ they have identified drug cartel members as suspects in the killing, but federal authorities in charge of the case have not acted on the information. The federal attorney general’s office declined comment on the status of its probe,” writes O’Connor in the report, published here on the CPJ website.
