Description
Summary:The objective of this article is to analyze journalists’ overt and covert resistances. Drawing on the typology of resistance of Hollander and Einwohner, as well as fieldwork in one Mexican journalism’s capitals, Tijuana, four types of resistance are examined: 1) to relations of deference, 2) to information blocking, 3) to workloads, and 4) to editorial censorship. These strategies are intermingled and allow what organizational structures often prevent: a socially relevant investigative journalism.
