Katherine Corcoran: In the Mouth of the Wolf
By TPLCulture
Former Associated Press bureau chief for Mexico and Central America, Katherine Corcoran shares her new book In the Mouth of the Wolf: A Murder, a Cover-Up, and the True Cost of Silencing the Press and discusses how silencing the free press threatens basic protections and rule of law across the globe. In conversation with Rachel Pulfer (Journalists for Human Rights).
Regina Martinez was no stranger to retaliation. A journalist out of Mexico's Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Regina's stories laid out the corruption and abuse underlying Mexican politics. In 2012, she was bludgeoned to death in her bathroom. The message was clear: No journalist in Mexico was safe.
In Katherine Corcoran's explosive new book In the Mouth of the Wolf, she investigates the murder of a legendary journalist on the verge of exposing government corruption in Mexico.
