Foreword At first we wanted to call this book Geography of Silence, because it is about the spaces within politics and culture, where the press is silenced by narcopower through threats, harassment, and death. But as soon as we began to receive the texts from our colleagues, we realized our mistake. Even when there is silence, journalism – as an act – demands deep reflection.
