Just 20 minutes south of downtown San Diego, at the doorstep to the United States, the city of Tijuana, Mexico, is home to more than 2 million residents. Journalists from the city’s news organizations work together to tell the city’s story. But those journalists are under threat. In one week in January, photojournalist Margarito Martínez Esquivel and reporter Lourdes Maldonado were assassinated outside of their homes in Tijuana.
