More than 150 journalists have been killed in Mexico since 2000. The case of Regina Martinez, an investigative journalist assassinated in her home in the state of Veracruz in 2012, is emblematic of this war being waged against the press. Katherine Corcoran, former Associated Press bureau chief for Mexico and Central America, joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss her book on the case of Regina Martinez and the wider context of the killings of journalists in Mexico, ‘In the Mouth of the Wolf’.
Katherine Corcoran is a former Associated Press bureau chief for Mexico and Central America. She is currently codirector of Cronkite Noticias, the bilingual reporting program at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and of MasterLAB, an investigative editor training program in Mexico City.

Lies lies and more lies. The truth is journalist are being murdered and have been murdered even to the point where other countries threaten to sink our ships if they even carry a single journalist on board and our country feigning cowardice to allow it in South America and now anywhere south of the border and even in southern Texas which is led by the WEF traitor Saint Abbott.
The truth is they don’t want you to know That this country is under attack by the Vatican and the new Nazi party/Roman Reich which isn’t new, that’s just how the media has brainwashed its idiot viewers into thinking instead of the truth which is that every single Muslim and Christian around the world unknowingly and some knowingly support this destruction of the once greatest nation in the world. I sure hope your fairytale doesn’t blow up in your face and that there will be an afterlife where are you people will have to pay for your actions.
This is an invasion and as we once understood in this country “loose lips sink shipsâ€. But now you are more likely to die in latin America as a journalist than you were as a war correspondent during any of this country past conflicts. It’s time to put down the Internet which is controlled by alphabet/google/YouTube who are controlled by those who cannot be mentioned here without shadowbanning and other friends of fascist, stop blaming the historical enemies of these people the communist, Chinese, Jews, socialist, democracy and every other group that has historically fought against this kind of invasion (even though the people of today have been poisoned enough by religion that they are dumbed down to the point where they forget history before Obama or Clinton and don’t know that this has been a right wing plot for a very very long time) and pick up arms to defend against the actual men who are getting away with unspeakable crimes in this country and even being protected not just by media but by corrupt government who insist they not be reported on or even have to be listed as certain types of offenders like with the SO registry for instance which you can look up for yourself if you can read.
Only the most vile of cowards blames the enemy of his enemy while his enemy stands right before him in his home having their violent brutal way with their children and claiming your property to be his own.
Truth Telling Journalists are Humanity's Saviours, while the Obnoxious Corporate Media Sell Out's are the Killer's of Humanity. The Heroic Journalists that lost their lives Painfully just because they wanted Humanity to Suffer less, leaves one Speechless. The Courage of these Poor Souls, their a Credit to Humanity. All of them should be Named, and Offered thanks for their Great Sacrifice. All the Sacrificed Journalixts of the World Should be Celebrated. Assange should be set Free, to Speak at the Events to Honour Murdered Journalists.
I don't know if Chris sees this, but could you ever speak on AMLO? and in depth Mexican politics?
I hate journalist in america , they are the worst people on earth
Perhaps Trump was right to build a wall
You're disillusioning me Jimmy.
Your laughter rings hollow to me.
The hollow laughter of someone who desperately wants to have a better answer but doesn't.
I'm sure, in your travels, you have seen more than one succumb to addiction and OD. Haven't we all?
Haven't we ALL had that moment when we were so totally exhausted and abused by an addict that we were GLAD for at least a minute that they were in jail ???
Trump scares me.
But what is YOUR alternative?
Alvin Bragg ?
Hunter Biden ?
Gruesome Newsome?
Desperate times call for Desperate Measures.
Or at least recognizing + protecting our own border
We turned Mexico into the place it is today with the drug war, it’s disgusting how we just ignore that fact
♥ï¸ðŸ™
these days dont know of a good ones do you😅
Can you tell me who controls the cartels, who gives them jobs, guns and protection, who launders their money? The cia dea nsa and american bankers
To be clear all so called “ governments†are nothing but thieves and murders. They are indistinguishable from a cartel
Funny. I bet she was crying and in a lot of pain.
America wants to INVADE Mexico. They are joining the rest of the world (BRICS) leaving the dollar.
Our government will use real tragedy as an excuse.
Too bad no mention of the DEA’s and the US Government’s role in all of this. Think they didn’t know? Think again.
Does can cn tower bozo ever stop the lies. Planet not in jeopardy because of carbon it’s in trouble from the major wars and nuclear tests all over planet. Stop war stop pollution
Colonialist view ðŸ˜
Associated Press? Lol
Bye!
It's much the same in GB now, drug gangs fighting over territory, the 21st century's commercial travellers, armed with knives and guns. Vanguard of the NeroLiberal Revolution?
your intro is to democracy now

Damn…
Journalist = UrOnAList
Low IQ sociopaths only respect and understand one thing: violence. RIP brave journalist.
What? Is she a mole? Most of the intimidation and murder is done by the opposition and the cartels that have become more leathal since they started importing massive amounts of weapons from the U.S. thanks to narco Calderon. Take a look at the cases actually solved, where before there where little or none solved. of course the oposition is virulent. there's actually exchange of rhetoric, where before there was none. Is she the U.S. version of Anabel Hernández? take a look in the mirror with the worlds greatest death mafia., your Militiray Industrial complex. you think that México is worst today than with illigitamate Narco President Calderon? give me a god dam break!
On choppy windy days don't go boating. And if you do stay near the edges of the lake. It won't be as bad usually nearer the shore. The middle will be the worst in almost all cases..
NSO group sales of spyware to officials in Mexico had the highest numerical use of spying than any other country using this product. The former president Pena-Nieto had good reason to use it with all the charges of corruption and fugitives sought that served in his cabinet . He deliberately stalled the 43 student teacher murders which alarmed the entire country still without suspects. For several years now I've been asking friends to bring me back a newspaper from Mexico on their return . When there are none to be found this crisis sinks in, yet a total blackout remains on most American cable networks . I still read Charles Bowden's Murder City , the book Katherine surely knows that documented the trend of femicides along with murders . In a scant 3 years, yearly murders went from 307 to almost 3,000. The fact that one percent are ever solved or prosecuted shows the very connections Chris posed between Gangs, law-enforcement and officials.
Murders, are NOT EPIDEMICS.. simply because it becomes wide spread in a certain area.. maybe we can get back to the terms Mass Murder..
Thank you.ðŸ‘â💯
If you ever want to commit suicide…
A certain death would come from..
Becoming a "rappin' reporter."..
..& movin'ta Mexico.
Because if the rappin' side didn't get ya..
…the reporter part will.
Journalist are spies.
I’m sure our government is deeply involved as well.
Evil silencing the voices of Mexican people. Justice for people.â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™
This woman literally is so ignorant about Mexico and its independent journalists. She is not reliable at all.
You should be talking about Genarco Garcia Luna.
You should be talking about corrupt journalist Loret de Mola, Lopez Dóriga and all of Televisa and TV Azteca.
I know Mexico very well and this woman is wrong on many levels.
There is not a war against independent journalists at all. Simply put, anyone that gets in the way of cartels gets killed regardless of what do you do for a living
This doesn't even make mainstream news. It's like CNN wants to cover it up because they would never be real reporters.
Chris Hedges
Good reporting as always, about corruption south of the border, however why we never heard about the real driving force of drug trafficking: DRUGADDICTION, particularly in the United States?
More afluente societies United States and Canada pay more for the drugs and consume more as well; making drug cartels richer and richer.
The addicted's profile, you Chris Hedges well know, is not the typical homeless junkie, no it's the middle class and up, in the so called first world,
who takes all kind of drugs to keep going.
I admire your journalistic talent, your book, war gave us meaning is my favorite.
Please turn your talent to attend to this other end of the issue: ADDICTION; why people need to self medicate, scape, kill them selves? It deserves attention.
Drug trafficking is a health problem not a law enforcement problem.🪬ðŸœ
Honestly 150 journalists since 2000 is far less than I would imagine would die in that country
Mexico is a failed country,why waste your life for nothing? The gov.will not change they are controlled by the cartel.Sad to hear this .
I have kept up with this happening in Mexico some time. Thank you, Chris, for having had this discussion. Love to all independent journalists who try to do their jobs. I had seen some documentaries of these brave journalists.Thanks to you and Katherine for having this discussion.
Can Chris and her have a baby?It will be smart and keep his hair.
I like being American,you have to give people a fair shake.We are getting there.This is a empire doing death throws
Where or when was there ever uncensored news?
