Summary: REPORTING ON MEXICO’S WAR. More than 40 journalists have been killed or disappeared in Mexico over the past six years, since the war against drug cartels began. The film Reportero: Reporting from Mexico's Drug War, that was recently aired on PBS, focuses on journalists struggling to produce investigative journalism in a country plagued by violence, self-censorship, and an ever-diminishing freedom of expression. This edition includes interviews with the director of the documentary, and with a top journalist who recently won an award from Harvard University for her coverage of the war against drug trafficking and her role in protecting and training journalists in Mexico.
