Measured by the number of murders Mexico is the most dangerous
country in the world to be a journalist. Eight were killed last
year; and countless more suffered threats, intimidation and
violence. Stephen Sackur speaks to Lydia Cacho - one of Mexico’s
most prominent journalists who - after decades of assaults, death
threats and at least one assassination attempt - is currently in
exile for her own safety. Her particular focus is the violence
done to women in Mexico and the failure of those in power to make
good on promises of protection. Can courage overcome injustice?
