Podcast appearances and mentions of regina martinez

On this episode of the podcast, host Nathaniel Parish Flannery talks to Katherine Corcoran, the former Associated Press Bureau Chief for Mexico, and the author of a fantastic new book called IN THE MOUTH OF THE WOLF: A MURDER, A COVER-UP, AND THE TRUE COST OF SILENCING THE PRESS. Corcoran's engaging book delves into investigating the murder of Regina Martinez, a high-profile journalist who covered the topic of political corruption in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Mexico. Over the last 12 years, Veracruz stands out as BY FAR the most dangerous state in Mexico for journalists. The dynamics covered in IN THE MOUTH OF THE WOLF help explain the broader risks that critical journalists face when writing about organized crime and political corruption in Mexico. "In the case of Veracruz, they operated under the system where the governor was the strongman who negotiated with the cartels and organized crime. That's what was going on under Javier Duarte. They all made huge amounts of money in this criminal government either by stealing public funds or collaborating with drug cartels. That's what created this atmosphere of fear and intimidation, and uncertainty. Because the authorities were the perpetrators. You couldn't go to the police. They wanted to keep you silent," Corcoran says. "The whole strategy of the president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has been to be very hands-off with the cartels. He is very much against confronting organized crime directly. What has happened is that these collaborations between the political system and organized crime have increased. Corruption has increased. That is why it continues to be so dangerous to be a reporter in Mexico," she adds. In total, according to Article 19, 43 journalists were killed in Mexico during Lopez Obrador's time in office (through the end of 2023). Another journalist was kidnapped and killed a few days before this podcast was recorded. The 2023 Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index ranks Mexico in 128th place, among the world's worst countries in terms of press freedom. In 2022, Reporters Without Borders ranked Mexico as the most dangerous country in the world for journalists. Nathaniel asks Katherine Corcoran what grade she would give President Lopez Obrador for his rhetoric towards the media in Mexico. "I would give him a ‘D.' He has used his daily press briefing to attack the press and say that any critical press of his administration is orchestrated by his enemies, by the United States. He doesn't look at the press as any kind of component of a democracy where you have an independent watchdog that is keeping an eye on the government. To him, he doesn't want a watchdog. He knows best. He is going to fix everything. He doesn't need any critics. He has created a very hostile environment for reporters. His rhetoric is very dangerous. He is basically giving license to anybody who wants to attack the press," she says.

Guest: Katherine Corcoran is a former Associated Press bureau chief for Mexico and Central America and is currently co-coordinator of MasterLAB, an investigative editor training program in Mexico City.  She is the author of In The Mouth Of The Wolf: A Murder, A Cover-up, and The True Cost Of Silencing The Press. The post The Murder of Regina Martinez Perez appeared first on KPFA.

“We are actually heading into the direction of Mexico, while Mexico is trying to be more like us, a country of free press that supports the free press,” says Katherine Corcoran about the emergence of independent journalism in Mexico that has simultaneously sparked a rise in violence against journalists. Corcoran joined the podcast to talk with Olivia about her non-fiction book, IN THE MOUTH OF THE WOLF: A Murder, A Cover-Up, And The True Cost of Silencing The Press. Corcoran's work as a bureau chief for the Associated Press gave her the interest and the access to begin investigating and writing about the murder of Proceso reporter Regina Martinez, who Corcoran had spoken to only months before her death. “What does it mean? Why should people read this story?” she reflects, “When things started to get worse for journalists in the United States, which was something I hadn't anticipated at all, all of a sudden it was very easy to understand why the book was important.” On her time in Mexico, Katherine shares her love of Oaxaca, Guanajuato, and Mexico City, and recommends an article written by a fellow journalist as a guideline for a visit to the capital city: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/17/travel/things-to-do-mexico-city.html IN THE MOUTH OF THE WOLF: A Murder, a Coverup, and the True Cost of Silencing the Press is published in hardback from Bloomsbury Publishing.

In Mexico, more than a dozen journalists have been murdered a year, every year, for two decades. In 2012, Regina Martinez was one of them. One reporter wanted to know why.

When I think of Mexican sports and athletes, I think of golfer Lorena Ochoa or boxer great Laura Serrano. Speaking of boxers, I think of Canelo Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez. I also think of the relationship Mexicans have with their futbol (soccer) greats. I don't ever think of winter sports when it comes to Mexico and its athletes.     Today on the show, we speak to Regina Martinez. She is attempting to become the first Mexican woman to qualify for the winter Olympics in her sport, Cross Country Skiing. She's also a medical doctor specializing in emergency medicine.   Regina joins us today from her current home of Miami. And she shares with us not just what she thinks about burritos being tacos, chile rellenos, and tips on how to stay grounded while chasing a dream.   TAQUOTE: “Never be afraid to ask a taquero for more chile”       If you want to send us a message, have an ideal guest suggestion, or even want to send us hate mail, click here!    LINKS   Regina's website   TikTok   Instagram   Facebook

Now she is in her first year of residency specializing in Emergency Medicine in Miami, Florida. She was introduced to cross country skiing 3 years ago while attending medical school in Minnesota. Initially, this was a hobby to get her through the cold and long winter months. However, when she realized that no Mexican woman had ever qualified for the Olympics in this sport, she decided to take advantage of the opportunity and decided to give it a try. When she was little she was always a hyperactive kid. She played competitive soccer year-round, swimming in the summer, and basketball in the winter. She played soccer in college but retired after sophomore year to focus on her studies. To stay fit, she signed up for the challenge of doing a marathon and kept running since. Her other interests include: dancing, globe-trotting on a backpacker's budget, thrift shopping, space medicine, global health and diversity, inclusion, and equity in medicine and winter sports.

Des journalistes risquent tous les jours leur vie pour informer le monde. Certains se font kidnapper comme Olivier Dubois, pour avoir voulu interviewer un chef du GSIM - le Groupe de soutien à l'islam et aux musulmans - un groupe djihadiste affilié à Al-​Qaida, au Mali. D'autres se font tuer comme Regina Martinez, journaliste mexicaine qui allait réveler les liens entre cartels de la drogue et autorités dans des enlèvements, en 2012. Notre reporter, Eitanite Partouche, était dans une manifestation de soutien à Olivier Dubois, seul français otage à l'étranger depuis 2 mois. Elle a recueilli le témoignage d'Arnaud Froger, responsable du bureau Afrique de Reporters sans frontières, présent pour dénoncer la situation et rappeler les dangers que courent au quotidien les journalistes.

Le Projet cartel, ce sont 60 journalistes de 25 pays rassemblés par Forbidden Stories pour enquêter sur l'assassinat en 2012 de la journaliste mexicaine Regina Martinez Perez et reprendre son travail. Le réalisateur Jules Giraudat raconte cette mobilisation internationale de professionnels de l'investigation. Le Mexique est l’un des pays les plus dangereux au monde pour les journalistes. Devant même la Syrie et l’Afghanistan. En moins de dix ans, 64 journalistes mexicains ont été tués. Le 28 avril 2012, la journaliste mexicaine Regina Martinez Perez était assassinée chez elle, dans l’État du Veracruz. Elle enquêtait sur les liens entre les cartels mexicains et certains responsables politiques.  Une soixantaine de journalistes de 25 médias ont décidé de reprendre l’enquête sur la mort de Regina Martinez mais surtout de poursuivre ses enquêtes.  Cette collaboration porte le nom de Projet Cartel. Elle est coordonnée par Forbidden Stories (Histoires interdites, en français). C’est un réseau de journalistes d’investigation réunissant par exemple le Washington Post, El Pais, le South China Morning Post, Le Monde, la Radio Télévision Suisse ou encore Süddeutsche Zeitung.  Dix mois d’une investigation qui a abouti par de nombreuses publications et reportages, certains primés, en décembre 2020.  Au micro de L'atelier des médas, le réalisateur français Jules Giraudat raconte les coulisses de cette enquête qu'il a filmées pour un documentaire prochainement diffusé sur France 5. En début d'émission, on présente la plateforme Conseils de journalistes, proposée par CFI, en partenariat avec France Médias Monde, maison-mère de RFI et France 24. Il s’agit d'un site accueillant 60 vidéos que l’on peut regarder gratuitement sur cinq thèmes : journalisme de solutions, journalisme et égalité de genre, journalisme et santé, journalisme et environnement, journalisme et fact-checking.

What is The Cartel Project? Thanks for asking! In early December, the Forbidden Stories consortium unveiled The Cartel Project, which continues and publishes the work of other journalists who are victims of threats, prison sentences or murder.It takes its name from the work of Mexican journalist Regina Martinez, who was killed in 2012 while investigating links between drug cartels and politicians. Martinez was working for a weekly investigative news magazine called Proceso when she was found dead in her home.For several months now, 60 journalists from 18 countries have been continuing her work as part of the project, and looking into the suspicious circumstances of her death. They come from 25 different media outlets, including the Washington Post, the Guardian, El Pais, La Prensa and Le Monde.That’s impressive! How have all these media outlets managed to work together?Everything has been coordinated by Forbidden Stories. It’s a global network of investigative journalists which was created in 2017. Forbidden Stories was also behind the Daphne project, named after Daphne Caruana Galizia, a journalist who was murdered in Malta that year.But let’s get back to The Cartel Project. 199 journalists have been killed in Mexico since the turn of the century, with eight victims this year. These figures make it the world’s most dangerous country for reporters. A large proportion of these crimes are committed in the Veracruz region, where drug cartels have a strong influence. Working on links between politicians and drug cartels in Mexico is certainly a dangerous business. Founder Laurent Richard has gone on record as saying the Cartel Project is the most dangerous investigation that Forbidden Stories has ever opened.After 10 months of work, a lot of information has come out, in particular evidence that Mexican drug cartels continue to prosper with impunity for crimes against journalists. It has emerged that 99% of such crimes against Mexican journalists are never solved. If it’s so dangerous, why is the project looking into Mexico in particular?

Qu'est-ce que le Projet Cartel ? Merci d'avoir posé la question ! Le 5 décembre 2020, le collectif Forbidden Stories a dévoilé le Projet Cartel : 60 journalistes de 18 pays et 25 médias ont poursuivi pendant plusieurs mois le travail de la journaliste mexicaine Regina Martinez, assassinée en 2012. Elle travaillait pour un magazine hebdomadaire d'investigation national et a été retrouvée morte chez elle. Pourquoi cette journaliste a-t-elle été assassinée ? A ce moment-là, la journaliste enquêtait sur plusieurs disparitions, et plus précisément sur les liens entre les cartels et les hommes politiques de l'État de Veracruz, à l'est du Mexique. Un faux coupable a été désigné responsable du meurtre. L'objectif du Projet Cartel est de comprendre pourquoi la journaliste a été assassinée en continuant le travail qu'elle n'a pas pu terminer. Comment toutes ces rédactions ont-elles travaillé ensemble ? Pourquoi se sont-elles intéressées au Mexique ? En quoi cette enquête concerne-t-elle le monde entier ? Ecoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez". Un podcast écrit et réalisé par Pauline Weiss. A écouter aussi : Qu'est-ce que le cyberharcèlement ?

Welcome to episode 114 of Season 5 of the Kids Entertainer Hub! Regina Martinez is back to co-host with Zivi in this spectacular show. Today we talked about how to determine whether a trick is ready to be performed or not and how to ask for feedback. We also had a discussion about what to do when you get asked to stay longer and extend the show, plus our thoughts on performing in small apartments. Listen to this episode to learn more! In this episode we discuss: In Your Voice: How do you know a trick is ready to go into your show and how do you ask for feedback - from Joris “Hi, this is Joris! How do you know if you are ready to perform a new trick and how do you ask for feedback?” A big part about that are these questions How well do you know the trick? Have you practiced it? Have you ever recorded yourself? Have you been able to watch the recording? Do you look comfortable with it? Does the script flow? It’s better to look back at these questions before you perform it in your show and if the answer to these questions are YES, it means that you’re ready to perform the trick! More discussion and tips when you listen to the episode. Tips from the Vault: How do you deal with a customer that asks you to stay longer? Regina experienced this and probably most of you who are listening were already asked to stay longer. Regina shared her experience in one of her birthday parties where she developed a plan where she informs the booker about the upgrade options in case there’s a need to extend the show. Zivi also has his own similar way to inform the customer about pre approved extension agreement by communicating it to the booker in advance. Hot Topic: Small apartments - can you actually perform in them? Regina personally doesn’t want it because there are so many distractions in a small space while Zivi is so used to this and loves the shows in small apartments because it is normal in Israel to have shows inside small homes. There are prerequisites though for Zivi, first is an elevator, he doesn’t want to carry all his stuff to more than two floors, second is as long as there’s no sugar for the kids so that there’s no extra energy for them to run around and be jumpy, if these two are met then it’s a go. Zivi also trains the moms to have the show parent free and adult free.  

Welcome to our 111th episode of Season 5. Our co-host for this episode is Regina Martinez a.k.a Silly Sparkles. Today we talk about how to land you first gig and tips on how to continue to improve after your first show. We also shared our thoughts on how to market yourself during your show. Plus, we also shared the Jingle Bell Monte magic trick for this coming holiday season. Stick around and listen to the episode. In this episode we discuss: In Your Voice: NJ asked how to land the first ever gig “Hi Zivi, In the topic that someone gets talked about.. I am a new kids entertainer, you know that’s not true, but I’d like to know how do I get my first gig without having to use an agent, and will I get the gig without previous experience? Thank You!“ Regina shared how she started her career, she did not have an agent but she had some friends who are kids entertainer and referred some clients to her. How can a children’s entertainer get their FIRST EVER gig? Without using an agency? Assuming you’ve already had a few practice gigs at family and friends parties and you’re ready to test your skills at a complete stranger’s party... how do you score that first gig? Here are some tips for you.. Showcase YOURSELF and your work Network with entertainers SIDENOTE: Be generous and lend those newbies a hand! Sign up for Thumbtack/Gig Salad/Gigmasters Be prepared to receive that first inquiry. Zivi doesn’t recommend you call another kids entertainer and pretend to be a customer. Regina shared her experience when she tried to call one of the entertainers when she was starting out. Both Zivi and Regina agrees that anybody can land a first gig, The most important thing is not to think about the first gig, the first gig will come, it’s all about where do you wanna be 10 gigs later, 20 gigs later or 100 gigs later. You wanna be good, that good that people will want to talk about you. Know that it’s 80% efforts on your skills and 20% on the business at the beginning. Work on your skills most of the time and don’t worry much about other things. More discussion and tips when you listen to the episode. Tips from the Vault:The Jingle Bell Monte Magic Trick Here are some of the one liners from the video: Where does Santa go to learn how to get down chimneys? = A chimnasium What did one snowman say to another snowman = Can you smell carrots? “It was so cold on Christmas Eve that Santa had to jump-start three of his reindeer!” “One of Santa’s little helpers was so sad… he had low elf-esteem.” What do you call a chicken at the North Pole? = Lost! What do you call a polar bear with ear muffs? = Nothing, he can’t hear you Hot Topic: Is it OK to MARKET your business DURING YOUR show? Absolutely, YES! Says Regina. It’s a lot easier to market yourself right after you just wowed them with a face paint, balloon, etc. If you’re trying to market after a show, She finds it awkward if you just approach them with your card without them asking for it. Regina doesn’t like to do over marketing at the end of the party package because she’s already been promoting herself the entire show. She repeats her name a lot during her show. She has silly tactics while face painting a kid - She tells them they can get sparkles but only if they remember her name. Here are some marketing tactics the regina use: WORK YOUR NAME INTO YOUR PATTER ZUCCHINI TIP  MIC NAME TEST TALKING TO PARENTS AFTER SHOW

If you are or if you’re thinking of trying finding one, then you have to listen to this one. We also talked about a prop free game from one of the courses in the Kids Entertainer Academy that you can use in your show or play with your family. Last but not least, the hot topic of dealing with young hecklers. Lets begin: In this episode we discuss: In Your Voice: Working with Agents Yochi asked: “Hey Zivi, I want to ask you guys a quick question about working with agents, did you cover that in any of you previous things, will you cover that? Question is working with agents.” Working with agents can really fill up your calendar especially when you are working with good agencies that can help you get more bookings and gigs. More discussion and tips when you listen to the episode. Tips from the Vault: The “What are you doing” game Was taken from the course called the Comedy Masterclass - from an award winning street performer Uri Vice This game works very well with school ages, for younger age you need to give a lot of examples and then they get it too. You can get up to 10 mins of playing time through this game with two kids standing on stage. The first kid is miming drinking tea, and the second kid will just ask the question “what are you doing?”. The first kid can say anything except for the actual thing that he’s doing. Watch the video in the episode bonus to learn the full rules of the game. Hot Topic: What do you do with kids hecklers that try and call you out through the show All entertainers must have experienced this situation and we all agree that it’s very distracting. More of what Zivi and Silly Sparkles shared about their experience with hecklers in the episode.

Lastly, another hot topic and this time about how many balloons should you carry in your stock. So if any of these topics interest you hit the PLAY button now! In this episode we discuss: In Your Voice: How to market yourself at the end of the party ceremony Steven from Appleton Wisconsin USA asked: “At the end of birthday party shows, any idea you could share on you know, you get invited to stay, have some birthday cake or some food and meet up with the people. I wonder if you have any ideas on how to do that in a professional manner and what might you wanna make sure we include so that would help our business and so on?” Regina’s thoughts on this: It’s a great opportunity to market at the end of the show. It’s a really great time to have a photo op, with the birthday kid and other kids too. If you have a puppet it will have a great impact. When taken a picture ask them to use your hashtag when they post it. Offer a referral discount as a bonus for when they tag you. Zivi’s take: Most of people these days will agree to get them tagged so if you do the hashtag for them as Regina mentioned in the show, it allows you to take ownership on the process and the details. Tips from the Vault: Controlling Your Nerves The tip is taken from Lesson 7.0 of the Build your Magic Show course of the Kids Entertainer Academy – How Do I Control My Nerves. The main idea is - don’t ever say you will never do that magic trick again But at the same time, perform magic you find enjoyable and comfortable with and be realistic with your progress Regina also shared her story about her experience and Zivi also gave his take. See the extended notes for complete details. Hot Topic: How many balloons should you keep in your stock? For Regina:It depends on the business and market. Restock from a position of power and knowledge. Plus insights and challenge inside the bonus PDF extended notes. Zivi’s strong points on stocking balloons:Balloons Age. Limit yourself to few colors and spend your money wisely.
