A digital archive has been created to preserve the work of murdered journalists in Mexico, many of whom ran self-funded blogs, websites, and Facebook pages. The archive, which contains over 12,000 clips from 43 journalists, aims to shed light on unsolved cases and patterns of violence, and to serve as a tool to study the dangers faced by local reporters and citizen journalists. The work of these journalists was often daily, opinionated hyperlocal news and citizen reporting that called out abuses of power and demanded better public services and accountability. The archive is an invaluable tool for qualitative analysis that can help design better public policy to prevent violence against local reporters and citizen journalists.
