Mexican Radio Journalist Murdered in Ciudad Juárez
--------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, a radio broadcaster was shot to death Tuesday afternoon
outside her home in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. She was known as Bárbara
Greco on air. The 37-year-old had recently spoken out on violence
against women and children in Mexico in response to the recent killing
of a 7-year-old girl in Mexico City. Her friends and colleagues reported
that her real name was Teresa Aracely Alcocer. Last December, the
Committee to Protect Journalists said Mexico had suffered the
second-highest number of journalist killings in 2019, after Syria.
