Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries to be a journalist in the world, apart from the territories at war. Article 19, an organization in defense of the rights of journalists, recorded 561 attacks against communicators during 2023.
This figure includes the disappearance of reporter Juan Carlos Hinojosa Viveros in Nanchital, Veracruz. Despite the fact that in 2023 the murders of journalists were reduced compared to 2022 - the bloodiest year for the press in Mexico since there are records.
