Q: What is the state of press freedom in your country?
RS: The state of press freedom in Mexico is complex because it’s guaranteed officially, but it’s influenced by economic interests and company interests and also criminal interests, so it’s guaranteed in speech but not in reality at all.
Q: What are the biggest challenges for women journalists in your country today?
RS: The challenges that women in media face are the same that other women face in the country, in Mexico: lack of opportunities and problems with pregnancies, loss of work and less payment than men. It's the same for all working women in country.
Q: How do you and other women journalists face those challenges?
RS: We have to work twice as hard as men because we have to demonstrate we are equal--not better but equal--to men, and we have to get together to reinforce each other.
