‘What do you expect of us as a medium?’

Gunmen shot a journalist dead last week, and wounded another, to express their displeasure with media coverage of their group. The murder added to the tens of journalists who have been killed in the country over the last four years. 

In response to this latest attack, the paper’s editors wrote a front-page editorial with the headline: "What do you want from us?" Though they claimed it wasn’t a surrender, it seemed clear that the media outlet had offered to limit its coverage, writing in the editorial that "no story is worth the life of anyone anymore."

But this isn’t the Kabul Times. No, the newspaper highlighted above is El Diario de Juarez, of the not-an-insurgency Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
