A Front-Page Read of the CIDE Map

Reforma’s national section took my 148 criminal groups finding and translated it for print: who they are, where they sit on the map, and how that compares to the handful of cartels in official communication. This gave my dataset its first major exposure in Mexico’s print press.

Why a Print Citation Mattered

A print citation in a national daily isn’t a download number: it’s a signal that my research crossed from academic circulation into the discourse the political class actually reads. My 148 figure entered Mexico’s security debate in part because of citations like this one.
