México es uno de los lugares más peligrosos en el mundo para ejercer el periodismo.

En nuestro país, a muchos periodistas ocupados en la cobertura de temas locales se les hostiga, amedrenta y asesina por tomar postura sobre las injusticias que revelan, por señalar el abuso del poder y por dar voz a las inquietudes de su comunidad. Alejandra Ibarra expone en este libro una verdad trágica que llena de dolor e indignación: a numerosos comunicadores en México no se les mata por censura, sino como una forma de castigo por incursionar en la participación política, por señalar la impunidad y corruptelas de funcionarios, alcaldes o aspirantes a gobernadores, por invitar a los ciudadanos a tomar conciencia de los engaños de funcionarios públicos y de las atrocidades del crimen organizado. Y son estos periodistas, que no tienen la atención de los grandes medios de comunicación, a quienes nadie defiende ni se solidariza con su causa, quienes dan su vida por una sociedad mejor. El libro habla de mujeres que son emboscadas por expresar sus opiniones en radios comunitarias o ejecutadas por denunciar abusos de empresas; de reporteros que con sus propios medios y en diversas plataformas, que van del megáfono a Facebook, alertan de malos manejos de funcionarios o de alcaldesas cegadas por el poder; de periodistas que expusieron las acciones del narco o las trampas de grupos políticos y todos, sin excepción, fueron liquidados por denunciar y exigir la justa rendición de cuentas.

Con esta obra Alejandra Ibarra confirma que con la muerte de estos también activistas y defensores de los ciudadanos la libertad de expresión sufre una de las mayores vejaciones.

IDEAS es la nueva colección de Aguilar que nace con vocación periodística. Fiel a la pluralidad del sello, ofrece los más variados temas de actualidad, siempre con la intención de abundar en el debate político, social y cultural de nuestras sociedades, buscando nuevos enfoques, investigaciones de calidad y, sobre todo, autores comprometidos con la verdad, la indagación meticulosa y el tiempo social en el que vivimos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mexico is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist.

All too often, journalists covering local stories in this country are harassed, intimidated, and even killed for revealing injustice and abuse of power and giving voice to community concerns. Alejandra Ibarra presents a truth that is not only tragic but cause for indignation: Many of these reporters are killed not just as a form of censorship, but also as punishment for daring to become politically involved.

Working to expose the impunity and corruption of public officials and political candidates and make citizens aware of official lies and organized criminal atrocities, these local journalists lack the backing of large media corporations. They have no one to defend them or champion their cause, even as they give their lives to build a better society. Readers of this book will learn about women ambushed for expressing their opinions on local radio or executed for denouncing corrupt business practices; reporters who use their own resources and a range of platforms, from megaphones to Facebook, to warn of official misconduct or power- hungry authorities; and journalists assassinated for writing about drug cartels or demanding that politicians be held accountable for their actions.

With this book, Alejandra Ibarra makes a convincing case that the deaths of these activists and citizen defenders are an outrageous violation of freedom of expression.

Aguilar's IDEAS is a new collection with a focus on journalism. True to the imprint's commitment to pluralism, it offers a broad range of titles dealing with contemporary issues and is designed to further political, social, and cultural debate, identify new approaches, inspire quality research, and, above all, showcase authors committed to the truth, in-depth investigative reporting and the times in which we live.

A Surprisingly Tough Favorite for All Four of My Dogs
Style: Armadillo, Style: Armadillo
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Hound 2.0 stuffed armadillo toy, but it has been a total hit in my house. Neither the dogs nor I have managed to find the squeaker yet—so it’s either missing or extremely well hidden—but honestly, the dogs don’t seem to care at all. They love this thing. I have four dogs ranging from a 22 lb Boston Terrier to an 85 lb pitbull, plus two medium Blue Heelers in between, and this toy has been thoroughly tested by every size and play style. I was a little unsure whether they’d like the harder “shell” portion of the armadillo, but they actually love it. It gives the toy a unique texture and makes it feel more durable. Before this, I knew nothing about the Hound 2.0 brand, but I’m a fan now. My little Boston Terrier is notorious for ripping every toy he touches, and this armadillo has stood up to him like a champ. The tag said it was made for outdoor play, wrestling, and chewing—and that’s absolutely true. I haven’t taken it outside yet, but inside it has survived rough play from all four dogs and still looks brand new. I also love that each toy in this line is a different animal with the hard parts in different places. It makes them feel unique instead of just the same toy in different shapes. I’ll definitely be buying more of these. If you have a pup—big, small, or anywhere in between—I’d recommend giving this toy a try. It’s been a winner in my multi‑dog home.

Unique armadillo design
Style: Armadillo
I love the look of this armadillo toy. The flexible rubber shell gives it a spiky texture. It has reinforced nylon seams and printed eyes. The feet allow the toy to stand on its own, daring dogs to come knock it over. With a body length of 12" and standing 5" tall, the toy is of good size for even larger dogs, but it intimidated my 8lb yorkie mix. She found the hard shell and spikes off-putting and not fun. The toy is supposed to squeak, but either mine was broken or buried too deep to be useful. This was disappointing because I think a squeak would have helped my pup engage with the toy because she can't resist a noisy toy. I'd recommend this armadillo for larger dogs than my tiny pup. It seems durable with that rubber shell around the body.

A hound's dream toy.
Size: Small, Style: Mallard Duck
I bought this for our "grandson"--a happy go lucky beagle--to play with while we were dogsitting. It took a while to motivate him to play with it, but eventually he caved... and then promptly proceeded to tear its insides out! I took a photo and sent it to my son, and he remarked, "Wow, it has been a long time since he played with a toy like that." So even an old hound past his prime enjoyed this toy. As for quality, this is a very well made toy. Yes, it's true that the dog ripped it to shreds, but that'll happen to any toy if the dog is determined enough. I was happy he enjoyed it. He also has two loofa dog toys here that he hardly ever touches, but this duck toy was too much for him to resist. My only suggestion is to supervise your dog while he plays with this. Besides the inner stuffing, the toy has a fuzzy surface to it, and you don't want him chewing a bunch of fuzz if he tears some out, as dogs are apt to do. Other than that, GREAT DOG TOY!

My Border Collie's absolute favorite toy!
Size: Small, Style: Chipmunk
Stuffed animal (with squeaker) securely attached to rope hoop. Lasts a long time as a kind of frisbee. However, really an outdoor toy for active play, because when my dog has a chance to lie down comfortably this toy will get torn apart and shredded fast!!! (This is his third!) Can be repaired for awhile to prolong use with strong cotton carpet thread, but it is not immortal, so be advised.
