Media pact with narcos, an act of desperation

Editorial by Miguel Omar Lopez and Rafael Gonzalez:

Culiacan – Reporters and society abhor the extreme circumstances which require El Diario de Juarez to seek a truce with criminal organizations after the deaths of two of its reporters. The truce was offered in two pages of editorial in which the paper said it doesn’t want to cause the loss of more employees.

In similar circumstances, the newspaper Noroeste in this city (Culiacan), declined to establish an agreement with the underworld and its facilities were attacked with a volley of grapeshot and the placement of a narco message.

It is detrimental for the federal government not to take a position of enlightenment. It is detrimental for Irma Irene Gonzalez Sanchez, President of the Reporters’ Association, who has shown that there is no guarantee of security or an answer to the protection of the guild.

We are done saying, “Mr. Criminal, what do we do? ...Where do we place ourselves?…If we go to the side of the law, they simply do not protect us. If we go to work, tragedy happens like that which occurred to the murdered reporters, or kidnappings or torture. We are done with everything.â€
