Per the Reuters article linked in this one[1], the outlet he worked at "had been receiving threats, which it reported to local authorities, as a result of its sustained reporting on corruption in local government."

Oh man, reporting to _local authorities_ on _local authorities_ corruption, what do you do?

Great idea on surfacing reports that was worked on of killed journalists.

I know movies and books make many reporter's into these individuals going at things alone; Cavalier and protected by brawn or a history.

I agree with the parent comment. It just worries me because, how many sources, scared insiders have also been taken out? What is the full homicide rate for 2022 in Mexico? Not just the 'reporters?' If research breaks and it's not sound enough, what are the addition casualties?

What tremendous courage reporters such as these must have to do their work.

Yeah, that was the same PR statement my quote was from. "Somewhere in Michoacan there's corruption" isn't very specific.
