Mexico sees longest-running wave of journalists murdered in peacetime, 169 killed in 20 years | RSF "Over the past two decades, 169 journalists have been killed in Mexico – an average of eight a year. Impunity for these crimes is rampant, as 99% of these murders have not been fully solved. Organised crime and corruption are the main drivers of these homicides —  the longest series of journalist killings in a country at peace in the 21st century — as the country’s justice system falters and authorities fail to protect news professionals. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on President Claudia Sheinbaum to immediately do everything in her power to protect her country’s journalists."
