Suicide-by-journalism.  Get yourself a million-dollar life insurance policy leaving your family VERY well off and head to Mexico to cover the "news".   They'll thank you later.

Depressing story but an update:

Quote
Mexico governor says Chihuahua too weak to fight cartels

The governor of Mexico's northern state of Chihuahua, Javier Corral, has said his government does not have the means to tackle organised crime.

He said he had requested federal resources to help local police fight the drug cartels.

Mr Corral's comments come four days after the murder of a local journalist, Miroslava Breach, in Chihuahua City.

Ms Breach had reported extensively on the links between organised crime and politicians in the state.

She was shot in her car on Thursday outside her house in Chihuahua City, becoming the third journalist killed in Mexico this month.

There is a travel advisory warning issued for Mexico for a reason.  People cruise and vacation to Mexico all the time and supposedly there are safe (?) areas of Mexico, personally, I don't see the attraction to Mexico and don't see that it's worth the risk.
