@UNC_Press I then trace the threats to press freedom under President Calderón (2006-12) and since:.The spiraling violence of the “war on drugs”, incl. killings of reporters.The flight of readers & advertisers to the internet.The return of govt. attempts to co-opt media via advertising buys.

@UNC_Press I follow the evolution of Mexican media:.From widespread subservience toward authority – the infamous “prensa vendida”.To its role in democratization, as watchdog journalism, criticism and pluralism flourished in the 1990s and early 2000s.

A terrific piece from @davidluhnow on how Europe is falling behind. There are implicit warnings for Mexico too, with its fast-rising social spending and its aging population.
Imagine a world where the US and China increasingly become more powerful and Europe fades from relevance. While some may cheer that on, I suspect the world will miss a strong and vibrant European voice. via @WSJ.
