In just a week, a news photographer was killed in Tijuana and a reporter had been killed in Veracruz, marking a gloomy start to 2022 in Mexico, which is often regarded as one of the most dangerous locations for journalists.
While all the countries with the highest numbers of such killings (Mexico, India, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo) rank poorly in terms of press freedom, even higher ranking countries like the Netherlands saw journalists murdered.
The Presidential Task Force on Media Security on Saturday said it is looking into whether journalist Jess Malabanan was involved in a land dispute that might have led to his murder in Samar.
