COATZACOALCOS, Mexico: A journalist was ambushed and shot dead in Mexico´s eastern Veracruz state, local officials said Monday, the latest murder of a media worker in a country notoriously dangerous for reporters. Maria Elena Ferral, a correspondent for the Diario de Xalapa daily newspaper, was getting into her car in Papantla when two men on motorbikes opened fire and mortally wounded her before fleeing the scene, a police source told AFP. “Despite the efforts of doctors to save her life, we are terribly sorry to learn that a few minutes ago the journalist Maria Elena Ferral died,” Veracruz governor Cuitlahuac Garcia wrote on Twitter.
