A recent crime in Oaxaca has highlighted the vulnerability of communicators in Mexico. The case of Alejandro Leyva Aguilar is the latest in a series of violent incidents against journalists. In the past seven months, seven journalists have been killed in the country.

Further details about the situation and its implications for local media outlets are available from El País América, which has been following the developments in this case and the broader context of violence against journalists in Mexico.
