Think he saw this coming. Looks like a death wish.
Seeing something coming doesn't always indicate a death wish. How do you think he might have avoided this?
In this case, what was coming was his death. Maybe on a subconscious level, he knew if he kept reporting that stuff, it would catch up with him.
How about reporting anonymously?

The 4th estate is how the playing field is kept fair, devastating setback.
The Cartels are in control and the government is totally subservient.
But, there is a very thin veneer between civility and social anarchy, so hope exists in a perverted form.Paco Facullo - 5-16-2017 at 10:55 AM

I believe that journalism, like teaching or any other passion, is in your blood. One can no more ignore the urge to practice than to stop breathing
on purpose.

I'm guessing there is no more hazardous an occupation in MX than that of a journalist. I'm guessing journalists are smart people and probably
know that if they report stuff around corruption, drugs, gangs, they will eventually be killed. They know it. What do you call that? I call it
crazy.
Courage in the face of the inevitable. There's an odd respect there I guess.elgatoloco - 5-16-2017 at 03:33 PM

That's probably true. Drug traffickers and corrupt politicians are their adversaries. Dangerous people. I wonder which group killed this reporter.bajabuddha - 5-16-2017 at 04:35 PM
Ah, but don'tcha know, in this day and time the Main Stream Media and journalists are all lieing, headline stealing, corrupt one-sided propagandists
(other than your own preference of 'Fake News') out to promote their own agenda? Written tongue-in-cheek for those who have had a humorectomy.
Politicians have professional bodyguards with guns. Cops have guns, just not as big as the Cartels, but useful. Either two defies the Cartels in the
least will end up muerto. Army has bigger better guns that always end up in the hands of the Cartels. Follow the money, the money is power, and
power corrupts... and Mexico is corrupt... as well as other Nations.
Journalistas in Mexico do so out of patriotism for what is right. So do MOST in the Estados Unidos.
