ProPublica / Ginger Thompson / May 25, 2021
“‘Somos.’ will give a third life to ProPublica’s ‘How the United States Triggered a Massacre in Mexico.’ The online story, which was co-published with National Geographic, was an oral history that reconstructed a 2010 DEA case that had targeted the leaders of a vicious Mexican drug cartel. The operation erupted in violence when it was compromised by corrupt members of a DEA-trained Mexican police unit. The story relied heavily on testimonies from people responsible for the attack and those who were its victims, including law enforcement agents, cartel members, local officials and relatives of the dead and missing.”
