A week ago, the body of previously missing Luis Martin Sanchez, a Mexican journalist, was found. According to media watchdog Reporters Without Borders, Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists. The murders point to larger, systemic problems. A problem is widespread corruption by politicians and the police and a lack of trust in the media. (Reuters)
