Murdered Investigative Reporter Regina Martínez Mourned in Mexico

HeadlineMay 01, 2012

A funeral was held Monday for Regina Martínez, the Mexican journalist who was murdered inside her home in Veracruz. Martínez often wrote about drug trafficking for the news magazine Proceso, one of Mexico’s oldest and most respected investigative news magazines. Rafael Rodríguez Castañeda is the editor of Proceso.

Rafael Rodríguez Castañeda: “Proceso is a magazine that, contrary to what Regina Martínez’s assailants might have thought, is not stopped by things that shock us. It doesn’t make us doubt that we are doing what we should do, which is to reflect on what is happening in this country with authenticity, honesty, honor and clarity, as far as our professional reach allows.”
