What you’ll find under this tag

Expect a mix of formats: straight news updates, explainer articles that break down legal cases or rulings, and features that look at press freedom and investigative methods. We also link related coverage — regional politics, court rulings, and reactions from journalism groups. Each post is labelled so you can see whether it’s a quick update or a deeper read.

If a legal case or development is ongoing, we label timelines clearly and update stories as new facts appear. That helps you follow the sequence of events without hunting through multiple pages.

Questions about sources or legal terms used in articles? Check the bottom of each story for source notes and links to public documents when available. We try to keep legal language simple, but if a term still feels unclear, hit the comment or contact link on the story page and we’ll explain it in plain words.

Looking for related topics? Try our tags for "press freedom", "Guatemala politics", or "investigative reporting" to see broader coverage. That helps connect individual events to bigger patterns — for example, how media cases affect public information flow during elections or major policy debates.

This tag page is meant to make coverage easy to find and follow. We update it when new reporting appears, and we aim to keep each piece focused, sourced, and readable. If you want a specific angle covered — legal analysis, human stories tied to reporting, or regional comparisons — tell us and we’ll consider it for a future post.
