Blogs I follow that cover the drug wars in Mexico. Please add any you follow in the comments.
Borderland Beat
“Dedicated to the reporting of organized crime on the border line between the US and Mexico.” Photos can be graphic. But that’s what’s happening there now.
Mexico’s Drug War
“An ongoing analysis of southwest border violence issues by an experienced intelligence professional.” Currently on a short hiatus.
Narco News
“Reporting on the Drug War from all America.” The granddaddy of the drug war sites, started by Al Giordano. has several subsites, including The Narcosphere, with 475 co-publishers.
Border Reporter
“I’m an organized crime reporter working on the U.S.-Mexico border. I cover the Sinaloa Federation and the peripheral, but burgeoning cartels that operate along the border of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.”
Narco News is solid. They have been a go to source for tons of info and not just drug related either. Some of the most disturbing info I have ever read on Juarez from that site, but that’s a good thing.
