The body of Luis Enrique Ramírez Ramos was found Thursday on a dirt road near the Mexican state capital, Culiacan. It marked the ninth slaying of a journalist or photographer in that country this year.
Although drug cartels are often blamed, not every journalist wrote about the syndicates, leaving questions as to what’s behind the deaths of media members.
In Remirez Ramos’s case, his body was wrapped in black plastic. He reportedly died from multiple blows to the head. Ramírez Ramos’ news website, “Fuentes Fidedignas,” or ‘Reliable Sources,’ reported his abduction outside his home. He was listed as a “founding director” on the website. While its coverage of cartel activities was sparse, it did report on local politics, which is also a hot-button issue in the country.
The Committee to Protect Journalists said it lamented the killing and “calls on authorities to urgently investigate this act.”
Friends of Remirez Ramos said he had worried about retaliation as far back as 2015. However, authorities claim he never reported any threats.
Mexican government authorities have been criticized for lackluster investigations of the journalist killings.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has promised a “zero impunity” program, even as he frequently verbally attacks journalists whose stories he dislikes.

María (Mori), whose determination to catch the killer becomes an obsession; Gabina, an aspiring officer; Ángeles, a fingerprint analyst; and Valentina, a young rebel, set up a secret investigation as the body count grows, hoping to achieve what male officers haven’t and catch the killer.“Las Azules” is currently in pre-production in Mexico City.

For all their faults, the 2020s are shaping up to be a welcome celebration of actor Vicky Krieps. The Luxembourg actress is perhaps best-known with domestic audiences for her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson‘s “Phantom Thread,” but with 2021’s “Bergman Island” and a pair of 2022 Cannes Film Festival titles (“Corsage,” “More Than Ever“) under her belt, she seems poised to enter that rare stratosphere of performers who move between national cinema and Hollywood with ease.
Thania Garcia Amazon Music has officially launched its Gen Mex initiative to spotlight the growing regional Mexican genre’s evolving style and renewed popularity as it begins to reach global audiences.The regional Mexican category has historically been used as a catch-all term that spans banda, grupero, norteño and other folk formats — but as more artists begin to experiment with Mexican music in new ways, the market for it has exponentially expanded.“Música Mexicana has its own categories in not only the Latin Grammys but the mainstream Grammys, an entire radio industry built around it and is quickly outpacing reggaetón as the most-streamed genre of Spanish-language music,” Rocio Guerrero, global head of Latin at Amazon Music, tells Variety. “At Amazon Music, música Mexicana listening has increased 140% YOY…This revolution is unstoppable and it will continue to reach new heights.”What Gen Mex aims to do, is provide a hub for the dynamic genre while “trying to find the right ways to honor its [tradition], but looking ahead and being a catalyst for its reinvention.”As a part of this catapult into the limelight, Gen Mex promises to include new Mexican music programming and editorial content in the form of Amazon Originals. The first of which comes as a collaboration with Christian Nodal who stars in a short yet cinematic introductory video for Gen Mex.
