World Event #66

The cartel war in Mexico is reaching extremes by jeopardizing even more lives, journalists who cover the cartel wars in Ciudad Juarez. More than twice the amount of journalists have died on the job in Mexico than in Afghanistan, reaching terrible violence. Newsrooms have hired security and started providing bulletproof vests to journalists. It is very unfortunate that being a journalist, which is know not to be a life threatening job, is as dangerous as being a cop or solider.
