A report by Freedom House and the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) examines the danger faced by Mexican reporters, bloggers, and citizens utilizing social media as a tool against organized crime and corruption. The sample size of 102 journalists and bloggers is far from representative of the entire Mexican media, but the data is illustrative of the risks that people take to voice concerns, point out wrongdoing, and warn others of danger in Mexico.
Over two-thirds of the respondents claim to have been physically threatened or attacked due to their work; more than 95 percent said they knew colleagues who had been physically assaulted. Over half of the respondents name family and personal safety as their top security concerns.
