User:Mljonir/Censorship in Mexico

Annotated bibliography -This article is about the rise in power within drug cartels in Mexico over the last few decades. The importance of this is that these powerful drug cartels censor a lot of what media and coverage of issues in Mexico are released by both force and intimidation. This article will help my research for the section about censorship in press media in Mexico, possibly also social media. -This article is about a sports reporter who was supposed to be reporting on the Olympics in Mexico but ended up reporting about murder, corruption and censorship in Mexico instead. This article is important because it is an example of censorship in the media and how photographers and reporters knew that their work couldn’t get published because all news media was strictly monitored by the government. -This article is about censorship in Mexican press, primarily through licensing which prevented any media that was deemed to be going against the government’s politics from being published. This article is focused on a much earlier time, but it gives a good background to the beginnings of censorship in Mexican press media. I will use this either in my press section or possibly in a section about the history of censorship in Mexico. -This book gives a very in-depth background on censorship in Mexico starting from the 16th century. Giving a more in-depth analysis helps us understand why certain aspects of media in Mexico are still heavily censored today. I need to find more connected articles and sources to confirm some of the information in this book, but it will help me get started on a history section on Mexico’s censorship. -This article goes more in depth about Mexico’s economy and how they’re trying to improve current conditions and reestablish a new reputation outside of the headlines that highlight corruption. This article will mainly just be for more additional background research and to help understand what is being done about censorship and corruption now. It also talks about political changes and the shifts in personal censorship. -This article is about the crimes against journalists in Mexico and the struggles to fight against and persevere to get the news out to citizens. This article talks about the censorship against journalists both before and after Mexico’s newly formed democracy. I’ll use this article for research in my section about censorship in the press and on the internet. -This article focuses on film media in Mexico, and while the focus is not on censorship, it gives additional insight on censorship in media, this time through film. It also brings up the question of whether or not preventing the public to view certain films that depict the people of Mexico in a “derogatory” way should be banned from the public or not. -This chapter discusses the dangers the Mexican journalists have to endure to fight censorship. Simon also discusses the importance of the internet and how it’s helping expose the dangers that journalists face by trying to go against the status quo by reporting things that the government and the drug cartels are trying to hide. This chapter will help me in my censorship in Mexican press section. -This article is primarily about the change in politics after the Mexican Revolution. This article will be useful for finding research on the history of censorship in Mexican politics, since it appears that’s one of the most documented forms of censorship about Mexico. Primarily because there’s a big connection between the media and politicians where politicians prevent the media from releasing anything that offends them or goes against their agenda. This appears to also be the case in areas that are currently controlled by major cartels. -This chapter specifically focuses on internet censorship, and in the case of Mexico, it discusses the company Telmex that prevented citizens from using Skype. This specific example was also compared to China’s censorship on Facebook, as the government does not want its citizens having open access to certain programs from outside countries. This article will help me write a section about internet/social media censorship. Mljonir (talk) 18:08, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
