In Mexico, crime reporter Norma Sarabia was shot and killed in the southern state of Tabasco late Tuesday, becoming the sixth journalist to be assassinated in Mexico this year. Police say two masked men on a motorbike shot Sarabia repeatedly outside her home before fleeing the scene. In the neighboring state of Veracruz, armed men raided the home of journalist Marcos Miranda Cogco and kidnapped him. On Wednesday, Cogco’s wife pleaded for his return, noting he has received death threats for years over his critical reporting on local government officials. Reporters Without Borders has called Mexico the world’s deadliest country for media workers outside of an active war zone.
