Fears for missing Mexican journalist

Another example of the perils facing journalists in Mexico: José Antonio García Apac, the editor of the weekly Ecos de la Cuenca in Tepalcatepec, in the southwestern state of Michoacán, has been missing since November 20. He had published several reports about drug trafficking and his family said he realised he was being followed a few months ago. Reporters Without Borders, the Paris-based press watchdog, fears the worst. He is the third journalist to have disappeared this year in Mexico while eight have been murdered.
