How Do Journalists in Mexico Report on Organised Crime

2021 , Díaz Cerveró, Elba , Daniel Barredo Ibáñez , Rubén Arnoldo González Macías

Among the many outcomes of the so-called War on Drugs, Mexico has become one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalism. Besides killings and kidnappings, journalists are also frequent victims of beatings, arbitrary detentions, and online harassment, as well as many other acts of aggression. Anti-press violence has an evident impact on Mexican journalists’ daily activities, particularly as related to the coverage of organised crime. The endemic risk that news workers constantly face determines how they represent and interpret the stories they report on when it comes to this issue. Thus, this inquiry aims to analyse the practices that reporters and editors implement during the news-making process when covering cartels’ activities. In doing so, this paper draws on a set of in-depth interviews with news workers from Mexico’s main national newspapers, and from all the states where journalists were killed in 2017. The main findings indicate that there is a lack of written norms for the coverage of organised crime, and that reporters refer to criminals with a sense of familiarity. In addition, this study contributes to the understanding of journalists’ decisions in the field when doing their job, especially in dangerous conditions.

Informar sobre el narcotráfico es complejo desde cualquier punto de vista. Más si cabe en un país como México, considerado como uno de los territorios más peligrosos del mundo para los informadores. En este artículo mostraremos los resultados de un análisis de contenido en los cuatro principales periódicos mexicanos sobre las piezas periodísticas relacionadas con la fuga de Joaquín Guzmán Loera del penal del Altiplano, un caso que generó una enorme expectación internacional. Según los datos procesados, explicamos cómo en México los periodistas podrían construir coberturas como la estudiada entre factores como el miedo y la pretensión de espectacularidad
