Whether covering war, terrorism, organized crime or corruption, journalists, editors and publishers around the world risk their lives on a daily basis to bring us the news. Over the past decade, more than 80 Mexican journalists have been murdered, according to Reporters Without Borders, making Mexico the second most dangerous country in the world for media professionals after Iraq. Mexican journalists covering organized crime and corruption are forced to work in war-like conditions. Now, these dangerous conditions are affecting journalists in Central America.

Testimonials
"I returned to my country with more enthusiasm for doing journalism in adverse conditions, with a desire to conduct investigations in several areas and with the conviction of the importance and the fundamental nature of the work that good journalists do in these difficult times in our region. It was truly a privilege to be in San Diego and participate in this excellent Investigative Journalism workshop.
