Mexico Drug War Crusading Newspaper

The weekly Zeta magazine on sale at a newsstand in Tijuana, Mexico Friday April 1, 2011. Mexico’s Zeta magazine has set a standard for aggressive coverage of Mexican drug traffickers and complicit government officials. As the Inter American Press Association gathers next week in San Diego, Mexico’s news organizations are increasingly under assault for covering a drug war that has claimed more than 35,000 lives, including at least 22 journalists, since the government launched an offensive against the cartels in late 2006.
