In Mexico, two journalists were killed in a 24-hour period this week. On Wednesday, entertainment reporter Patricia Ramírez González, known as Paty Bunbury, was found dead inside a restaurant she owned in the city of Colima. One day earlier, Mauricio Cruz Solís was shot dead moments after he interviewed the mayor of Uruapan in Michoacán state. The deaths mark the first two journalist murders since President Claudia Sheinbaum took office at the start of this month. Mourners gathered for Cruz Solís’s funeral Wednesday.

Carlos López: “This is a situation that must not be repeated. Several journalists here in Uruapan, in Michoacán and Mexico have been violently deprived of life. We don’t have guarantees for carrying out our work professionally.”
