San Miguel PEN presents... Katherine Corcoran
In the Mouth of the Wolf: The Murder of Mexican Journalist Regina Martinez and the True Cost of Silencing the Press
Regina Martínez was murdered in her home in Xalapa in April 2012, one of six Mexican journalists killed that year. Martinez had investigated human rights abuses and government corruption in Veracruz for decades, making powerful enemies of the cartel leaders and government officials she exposed. Katherine Corcoran, then AP Mexico and Central America bureau chief, felt a deep connection with Martinez, although they had only spoken once on the phone. Given the state’s flimsy account of Martinez’s murder, Corcoran set out to find the truth herself. She found herself in a hall of mirrors in which truth was difficult to distinguish from fiction. Join us for this enthralling story of deception, deceit, power, corruption and death.
