Mexico: Day of the Dead Altar Honors Journalists
  • 8 years ago
Journalists killed during the last decade in Mexico are being honored at Day of the Dead celebrations. An altar placed at the Museum of Memory and Tolerance in Mexico City is supported by the journalism advocacy group Article 19. Members seek to create awareness of the risks faced by journalists as they go about their work. As many as 32 journalists have been killed in Mexico since 1992, when the Committee to Protect Journalists was founded. The country ranks seven among countries with the most murdered journalists. teleSUR
