This article discusses the death of a young Mexican newspaper editor. Maria Castro was the editor in chief of Primera Hora and died at the young age of thirty nine. Her death was a direct result of the outrageous gang and drug crime that infests Mexico almost wholly. The ruthless tactics of attackers appalls me. The reason for her untimely killing was a previous mention of "drug cartel activities" by a particular group that is believed to be responsible for the death of Castro and two others (all for the same reason). The casualties are a reminder of just how dangerous life as a reporter can be. It also causes me to remember the difference in safety and security in the US and other countries.
My Question: What's being done in Mexico to put an end to the drug related violence?
