The rector of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), Jose Narro Robles, expressed his hope that the agreement for coverage of violence does not become a mechanism of censorship or censorship while specialists and members of nongovernmental organizations relied on that this initiative will be useful, not to mention that the perpetrators of the attacks are "both criminals and the government." Narro
noted that the text of the agreement, the media should contribute to strengthening freedom of expression and not translate it in any way to diminish (perception) of safety problems and violence in the country, has claimed 36 000 lives in the past four years in the fight against organized crime.
"These are lives we have to hurt at all. No matter if it's the lives of criminals, because in a system of justice that should happen is that those who commit crimes do not end up riddled slaughtered or killed each other. At the bottom of everything, along with poverty, inequality, lack of education and opportunities, there is also a matter that has to do with impunity and can not stay like that, "he said in an interview after the event in The agreement was signed.
For its part, the researcher Alma Rosa Alva de la Selva, Faculty of Political Sciences of the UNAM, warned that the right to information and freedom of expression are at risk with the agreement for coverage of violence, it includes "forward ambiguous and limiting the social responsibility of the media."
Specialist said that over the right to information can not be anything. "People have a right to know, and if the media is clarified, it will never be in favor of freedom of expression."
Javier Esteinou, a specialist in Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco, found that the covenant is a proposal incomplete and more "spectacular" a profound reflection of the problems that must be addressed for society. He added that the proposal should be supplemented by critical analysis prepared by independent researchers and not by the companies themselves.
Edgardo Buscaglia, an expert in national security and criminology agreed that the agreement "is aimed at reducing the social perception that the Mexican government is losing the war against crime." He said
always look with suspicion when oligopolies together to try to manage the flow of information to the public. "You have to let the media simply make judgments, based information, either through experts reasoned."
For his part, Omar Raúl Martínez, director of the Fundación Manuel Buendía, warned that "in the deal lies a mere desire to standardize the information and, ultimately, go inhibiting criticism of the strategy government in its fight against drug trafficking. The message seems to be that you want to win in the media that the federal government is losing the public eye. "
Now, he said, would be desirable "in the spirit in all the country's media commit themselves more clearly and in detail to take immediate and effective action to implement measures to protect and train their own reporters."
In contrast, Omar Rabago, a member of the group Article 19, held that the agreement is an "important step, since this is the first time that many of the media gather to discuss the issue of violence" and practice better journalism in this context, remembering that those responsible for attacks not only criminals but also the government.
