According to the NYT:

“We want you to explain to us what you want from us,” the front-page editorial in El Diario in Ciudad Juárez asked the leaders of organized crime. “What are we supposed to publish or not publish, so we know what to abide by. You are at this time the de facto authorities in this city because the legal authorities have not been able to stop our colleagues from falling.”

This was after a 21-year-old photography intern at the newspaper was shot dead for reasons that are unclear. Another intern was wounded.

All along the border, news organizations have silenced themselves out of fear and intimidation from drug trafficking organizations, but El Diario had a reputation for carrying on — and paying a price. One of its reporters was gunned down two years ago.

A little more about that reporter:

The killing of Armando Rodríguez Carreón, the police reporter for El Diario shot dead in front of his 8-year-old daughter in 2008, remains unsolved; the investigation suffered a devastating setback when the lead prosecutor on the case was killed as well.

Jesus.
