Young Reporter Covers Mexican Drug War in Veracruz from Storyhunter on Vimeo.

Veracruz never was the epicenter of Mexico’s drug war, but violence in the beachfront city has surged since 2011. In the last year and a half, 11 journalists from the area have died covering the violence. Manuel Monroy, a young crime reporter, is one of the few journalists who remains on the frontline.

Storyhunters Damian Mendoza, Pablo Abrahams and John Dickie, filed the report.
