(Knight Centre) At a time when journalists are targets of organised crime and violence against reporters goes largely unpunished, declaring an editorial war against corruption and drug trafficking seems suicidal. According to Prodavinci’s Oscar Medina, this is precisely the journey upon which the weekly Tijuana-based news magazine Zeta has embarked.

The current editor, Adela Navarro, took over the position after her predecessor, Francisco Ortiz was shot dead (the crime remains unsolved). “I love my line of work. Other newspapers along the border have decided to stop investigating drug trafficking. Us, no,” Navarro said.
