 Martínez Pérez worked for several newspapers in Chiapas , like El Sol de Chiapas and <unk> Uno , for five years before she returned to her home state of Veracruz , where she became the editorial assistant of the news channel Cuatro Más . The journalist then left to work for the daily <unk> , where she covered topics on security and social justice . Martínez Pérez was also a journalist and investigative crime reporter for the Diario de Xalapa newspaper . Her journalistic career in Veracruz , however , faced several challenges from the political elite ; governors and government secretaries wanted to censor Martínez Pérez for criticizing their administration . Instead of self @-@ censoring like other media outlets in the state , she became known for her direct reporting style , which frequently angered the authorities . She wrote over 63 reports covering political assassinations , natural disasters , authority abuses , human right violations , corruption , and government mismanagement .
