Survey on Journalist Killings in Mexico

Journalism can be one of the most challenging professions in the world for many reasons. One is the possibility of being harmed when covering an event that can be potentially dangerous. These threatening events or unsafe locations, such as war sites, natural disasters, etc., can endanger their life.

Recently, an independent journalist was found dead having succumbed to injuries from a “blunt blow to the head”. The journalist was reportedly found near the US-Mexico border, later identified as Juan Arjón López. This incident raised several questions and concerns about the number of journalist killings in Mexico. With up to 14 journalist killings just in 2022, Mexico is now one of the most dangerous countries for the profession.

With many pre-existent risks that already come with the profession, more questions about the safety and security of journalists have been raised. For instance, journalists in Mexico have even begun protesting to seek justice for the avenged journalists and demand better protection for others.

Lopez’s killing follows many other journalist murders across the globe this year, including that of Palestinian-American journalist, Shireen Abu Aqleh. This time and again stresses the importance of safety and safety precautions on site. For example, many have suggested the need for tighter security measures, better precautionary measures and protocol (Bullet-proof vests, etc.), and stricter laws to ensure the protection of journalists.
