I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Javier Valdez Cárdenas was dragged out of his car and shot 12 times outside his office at Ríodoce magazine in broad daylight on May 15, 2017. The killers took his laptop and cell phone and fled.

Valdez was internationally recognized for his fearless investigative reporting on organized crime, corruption and politics as well as his books on Mexico's drug war. In 2011, he received the Committee to Protect Journalists' International Press Freedom Award. Two months before his death, Valdez told CPJ that he feared for his life. In April 2018, a suspect was arrested in his murder, but his colleagues fear it will be difficult to get convictions in Mexico, where journalists' deaths frequently go unsolved. Valdez was 50.

Her stories ran in the national newspaper La Jornada and local newspapers Norte and El Diario de Chihuahua as well as through her own news agency MIR. Nine months later, a drug cartel member was arrested for plotting her murder. Shortly after Breach's killing, Norte newspaper shuttered for good, citing the risks its journalists faced.

Her home had been torched twice and family pets had been poisoned, stabbed and shot. But Caruana Galizia continued her fierce reporting. Journalists from around the world teamed up to continue her work and uncovered a conspiracy to kill her. Three men were charged in her death.

American freelance reporter Christopher Allen was drawn to dangerous places. In August 2017, Allen was embedded with rebel forces in South Sudan to document the civil war that had raged there for four years. Fighting broke out along the Ugandan border. A rebel fighter said Allen was wearing a jacket that was clearly labeled "press," but Allen was shot in the head. He died instantly. South Sudan information minister Michael Makuei Lueth told Voice of America that Allen was a "white rebel" who had been barred from the country for his "hostile reports." But a family friend said, "He went to South Sudan for the same reason all good journalists go to trouble spots: to get the story and to bring that story to the world's attention." Allen's stories were published by The Independent, The Telegraph, the BBC and Vice. Allen was 26.
