Patricia Mayorga Ordóñez is a Mexican journalist. She works for Proceso, a news magazine based in Mexico City. During her career, she has highlighted human rights violations of indigenous peoples including forced disappearances. As a result, Mayorga was awarded the CPJ International Press Freedom Award in 2017.

Career

[edit]

Mayorga's journalism career in Mexico began in 2000 with a focus on health and education. This later developed into an interest in human rights issues, government corruption, and violence. She initially worked for El Heraldo, a daily in Ciudad Juárez, and El Diario.[1]

Due to the focus of her journalism work with Miroslava Breach, Mayorga has received death threats and fled Chihuahua in 2017.[2] Mayorga was awarded the CPJ International Press Freedom Award that same year.[1] She dedicated her acceptance speech to Breach and Javier Valdez Cárdenas, another journalist who was murdered.[3]
