The editors of a local newspaper in the Mexican town of Ciudad Juárez have issued a defiant call to continue their reporting following the murder of a young journalist last week. The victim, twenty-one-year-old Luis Carlos Santiago Orozco, was the second reporter from the El Diario de Juárez to be killed in the drug violence that has besieged Mexico. In a front-page editorial, the editors of El Diario write, “We don’t want to see more dead. We don’t want to see more wounded, nor do we want to be intimidated. It is impossible for us to do our job under these conditions. Tell us, then, what you expect from us, as a newspaper?” They continue, “This is not a surrender. This is about a truce with those who have imposed the force of their law in this city, so that you will respect the lives of those who dedicate themselves to the job of informing the public.”
