I’m a freelance journalist.
I go from text to images, back and forth again.
I write, produce, research. I publish in media such as The New York Times, Gatopardo, La Jornada; and I have collaborated with Al Jazeera Witness, RedFish, Vice, among others.
I was a correspondent for teleSUR and El Telégrafo. I am founder and editor of Bocado.lat.
I have been a Pulitzer Center and Rainforest Fund fellow, teaming up with Soledad Barruti and Miguel Tovar; I have also been a fellow of UNESCO’s Investigative Journalism Pilot Programme with Wendy Selene Pérez and Miguel Tovar.
I wrote the book Ayotzinapa, horas eternas (with three editions: Ediciones B, Eduvim, Brigada para Leer en Libertad). I am co-author of four other books
Together with John Gibler and Daniela Rea, I did the research for the documentary VIVOS, directed by Ai Wei Wei (2020). I worked on The Days of Ayotzinapa (Netflix, 2019) and Blood in the wall (National Geographic/Junger Quested, 2020) Endangered (HBO/Loki Films, 2022) among other experiences. I researched and hosted the US-Mexico chapter of the series After the War (Muzungu-teleSUR, 2019).
I sometimes work as an external consultant for non-governmental organisations. I have written three reports on violence against the press, right to truth, children and disappearance.
In 2019 and 2022 we were awarded Mexico’s National Journalism Prize in the chronicle and reportage categories, respectively, teaming up with Wendy Selene Pérez and Miguel Tovar. In 2022, one of our articles won second place in the Breach-Valdez Journalism Prize and in the same year another article received a special mention in the Latin American Investigative Journalism Prize awarded by COLPIN.
