She is from a rural area near where our Senior Reporter Merveille Kavira Lungehe lives and reports. Merveille is the only international journalist in the region.

Readers with global ties

“Global Press Journal’s stories from Chiapas have transformed my way of thinking.”

Emelda, a Global Press Journal reader in El Paso, Texas grew up in the United States, but her family is from Mexico City. “I always had a very negative view on the southern part of Mexico,” she says. “I've been following the coverage of Chiapas for more than a decade. And now I understand the context of the region. I’m a school teacher now, and Global Press Journal stories help ensure that the next generation doesn't develop the stereotypes I did.”
