In one of our reports from Mexico, we’ll explain what this 83 year old woman is selling in the market in Malinalco, a village nestled in a valley several hours from Mexico City. It can’t be found in U.S. supermarkets but has been an important food in Mexico since pre-hispanic times (hint: they’re not chilies).

Brave Mexican Journalists
Forty six journalists have been murdered in Mexico since 2000 and eight more have disappeared, according to Reporters Without Borders. Many of those killed have reported on drug cartels or other illegal activity. Some of the bravest Mexican journalists are women working for CIMAC, directed by Lucia Lagunes (photo left in our interview in Mexico City). CIMAC was founded in the 1980s with a propositon that was then radical in Mexico– to prove that women’s issues constitute news.

Planning to be flexible
More from Paulina Yanez Navarro, NextGen journalist reporting in Mexico, (Paulina, left, checking her notes). Paulina, who is from Chile, has been assisting us in our reporting from Mexico City and is one of the NextGen journalists mentored by Round Earth. Paulina blogs about one important thing she’s learning on this reporting trip, an essential tension in all reporting. –Mary Stucky
Paulina: Where are we going now? That is the worst question that you can ever have when you are working on a story.
