Fixing Journalism: Local Journalists and International Correspondents in Mexico’s Zones of Conflict

Professor Maggy Zanger moderated a panel discussion, “Fixing Journalism: Local Journalists and International Correspondents in Mexico’s Zones of Conflict." The panel included Dr. Lenin Martell, Dr. Celeste González de Bustamante, Fernanda Santos and Fernanda Galindo. Historically, foreign journalists have relied on the assistance of local experts, so called “fixers” to help them with their reporting. The relationship between fixers and international correspondents is crucial to the quality of journalism, yet the work of fixers is often under-appreciated.
