-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, a crime reporter was killed in the state of Zacatecas Friday,
becoming the country's seventh murdered journalist this year. Juan
Carlos Muñiz worked for the outlet Testigo Minero and was a part-time
taxi driver in order to make ends meet. Mexican journalists have been
demanding the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador offer
protection and end impunity for the ongoing spate of reporter killings.
