Mexican media call for more protection after three killings in a week

Journalists say blame lies in 'grey zone' between organised crime and authorities

Journalists in Mexico have said the new government is failing to protect them after three reporters were murdered in less than a week.

Jorge Ruiz Vizquez, a reporter with the Grifico de Xalapa newspaper, was the latest victim, shot dead late on Friday night in Actopan, in Veracruz state. He was supposed to have received protection from state security forces but this was missing on the night of the killing.
