Visit the new issue of Sampsonia Way for an interview with journalist Judith Torrea, author of the blog Juarez en la Sombra del Narcotrafico (Juarez Under the Shadow of Drug Trafficking). Judith's blog, a finalist for the 2010 Best of Blogs Award in the Reporters Without Borders category, reports on the battles between drug cartels and the Mexican government. "The danger there is to be alive," Torrea, whose life is constantly in danger because of her refusal to be silent, tells Sampsonia Way. Another story on Torrea also recently appeared in Salon.com. Read it here.
