If a story goes unreported, did it actually happen?
In Mexico, as in post-communist Russia, pesky reporters sometimes turn up dead pour encourager les autres.
In other parts of the world, you don’t have to shoot people to stop things from being reported.
There are other ways.
And some of the the reporters will even deny that the lesser forms of intimidation even happened.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t intimidation nor does it mean stories - sometimes really big and important stories - don’t get reported.
But if they don’t get reported, did they actually happen?
