Join us on Thursday, March 11th at 6PM EST for "Reporting from Mexico: History’s Lessons for Journalists Today". Co-organized with North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA). This event brings together scholars and journalists from Canada, Mexico, and the United States to discuss how the historical development of Mexican media, and the use of scandal as a mode of politics, has shaped the challenges and promises for Mexican journalists reporting today. Participants will ...also discuss questions of representation and access: which stories make it to audiences and whose concerns get represented? The conversation will explore these and other pressing issues concerning Mexican journalism through a conversation about the recently published book by Vanessa Freije, "Citizens of Scandal: Journalism, Secrecy, and the Politics of Reckoning in Mexico" (Duke University Press).
