Communication: Innovation & Quality

Abstract

Journalism has become a high-risk activity in some areas of Mexico. The number of assassinated journalists grows and grows, and the way this ‘war’ is reported is vastly conditioned by the pressure that professional journalists are under. This situation has led some Mexican journalists to search for innovative solutions within new media and narrative formats that make a complete break with ‘la nota roja’ (red news). The Mexican journalist Guadalupe Lizárraga has opted for long tail journalism from the other side of the border. Context, investigation and condemnation of corruption and the violation of human rights are the hallmark of Los Ángeles Press; the case we are going to analyze in this chapter.
