Zavala and another person were killed Sunday, according to the office. According <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/article19mxca\/status\/1896375920195522670\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">local media<\/a>, Zavala and his companion were shot dead by unknown individuals aboard a vehicle after midnight<\/p>\n<p>It was at least the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cpj.org\/2025\/01\/mexican-journalist-alejandro-gallegos-killed-in-tabasco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">third killing of a media worker<\/a>\u00a0so far this year, though it remained unclear if the motive was connected to his work.

A record number of journalists were killed worldwide in 2024, the Committee to Protect Journalists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/journalists-killed-2024-record-israel-gaza-cpj-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said in a report<\/a> released last month.<\/p>\n<h2>How journalist killings are counted<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes authorities say the victim was a journalist, but usually only if it was someone well known. More commonly, press advocacy organizations share the information.<\/p>\n<p>The information, however, can vary between sources. In many cases, like that of Zavala, the victims cover very local events using social platforms rather than for a traditional newspaper, television or radio station. In those cases, it&#8217;s also common that the coverage is only one of the person&#8217;s jobs. They may also drive a taxi or do something else to make ends meet.<\/p>\n<p>The same authorities who are looked to for answers in some cases quickly dismiss a journalist&#8217;s work as a possible motive or suggest they were involved with unseemly people or business.<\/p>\n<h2>The number of journalist killings is down, but does that mean it&#8217;s safer?<\/h2>\n<p>No. Mexico had its deadliest year for journalists in <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fredid-roman-journalist-killed-in-mexico-15th-so-far-this-year\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">2022<\/a><\/span> with 13 killings, according to CPJ and Articulo 19. In 2023 and 2024, that fell to half or fewer, but non-lethal attacks shot up.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Articulo 19 recorded 561 such attacks, which includes disappearances as well.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperlocal journalists like Zavala are frequently the most exposed. They cover crime in places where cartels operate with impunity or cover local politics where justice is difficult to access and politicians may consider it easier to simply silence a critical voice.<\/p>\n<p>All but a handful of media workers&#8217; killings and abductions remain unsolved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Impunity is the norm in crimes against the press,&#8221; the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cpj.org\/2024\/03\/cpj-amnesty-international-report-finds-systemic-flaws-in-mexicos-journalist-protections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the Committee to Protect Journalists said in a report<\/a>\u00a0on Mexico last year.<\/p>\n<h2>What do authorities do?<\/h2>\n<p>Press advocates criticize authorities for frequently downplaying aggression toward the press and sometimes not investigating at all.<\/p>\n<p>During the administration of former President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, he used his daily press briefings frequently to attack journalists, calling them enemies or adversaries and leaving the impression they were fair game.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cpj.org\/2024\/03\/cpj-amnesty-international-report-finds-systemic-flaws-in-mexicos-journalist-protections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">report by CPJ and Amnesty International<\/a>\u00a0showed in 2024 that Mexico fails in its efforts to provide state-sanctioned protection to members of the press.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium \"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/the-deadliest-assignment-where-reporting-can-get-you-killed\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">The Deadliest Assignment: Where reporting can get you killed<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">10:56<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/journalist-killed-mexico-how-the-murders-are-counted\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexican authorities were investigating the killing of a local reporter Monday in the central state of Guanajuato, the country&#8217;s homicide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10336,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[683,682,1644,413,458],"class_list":["post-10335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-cartel","tag-drug-cartels","tag-journalism","tag-mexico","tag-murder"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Another reporter has been shot dead in Mexico.
