The only journalist that can speak up without fear in Mexico is a dead one. According to Mexican tradition, deceased relatives and friends return to visit their families on the Day of the Dead. However, it wasn't a relative or a friend of the Mexican president who came back on that day in 2020. Instead, it was journalist Javier Valdez – murdered for his investigative reporting – demanding justice for himself, for his colleagues and for free speech. All thanks to AI.
