Inside The Cartel Project: The Power of Collaborative Investigative Journalism (March 24, 2021 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82579 82579-21124020@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 12:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

In 2012 Mexican journalist Regina Martinez was murdered in her home. She had been reporting on the links between drug cartels, public officials and thousands of individuals who had mysteriously disappeared. Eight years later, her investigations were published simultaneously around the world as The Cartel Project.

Forbidden Stories, a nonprofit newsroom created by Laurent Richard during his year as a Knight- Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan, organized the project, secretly bringing together an international network of journalists dedicated to continue the work of Martinez. Sixty reporters from 18 countries, followed her leads to expose a global network of Mexican drug cartels and their political connections around the world.

Join journalists Laurent Richard of Forbidden Stories, Dana Priest of The Washington Post and Jorge Carrasco of Proceso with moderator, Lynette Clemetson, for a behind the scenes look at the global investigation and learn how collaborative journalism can keep alive the work of reporters who are silenced by threats, censorship or death.
