Jesus Blancornelas was a very important journalist in Mexico. He was born in 1936 and he died in 2007.
Blancornelas started his job as a journalist working in a sports newspaper. A few years later, in 1977 he founded a newspaper called ABC of Tijuana. Three years later in 1980, he founded one of his most important creations, the weekly Zeta. These newspapers gave impulse to the investigation on corruption and drug trafficking.
In 1988 Blancornelas was obliged to leave his post in the newspaper ABC, but he did continue doing some research on corruption and drug trafficking.
Jesus Blancornelas also was awarded with a lot of awards, like for example: “International Prize for Freedom of the Press” “Reporters without borders”, “Daniel Pearl”, “María Moors Cabot”, “Freedom of Expression Award from the Inter-American Press”,and I think that the most important, “Prize UNESCO / Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom”.
