Abstract
Faced with the complicated, challenging, and violent reality which has accompanied Mexican journalism since its beginnings, how can we understand its persistent, bold, but also tragic and controversial development? Part of the answer to such a disturbing question may be discovered, surprisingly, on the cover of the book Journalism, Satire, and Censorship in Mexico, edited by Paul Gillingham, associate professor of History at Northwestern University; Michael Lettieri, Fellow at the Center for U.S.–Mexican Studies at the University of California, San Diego; and Benjamin Smith, reader of Latin American history at the University of Warwick ©2020 José Luis López Aguirre, SAGE Publications Inc.
