摘要:The auditorium is packed. The adjacent room where the conference will be televised is also full. Amongst the audience, there are students, professors, lecturers, journalists, all eager to listen to Blanche Petrich. Petrich is a journalists form the Mexican newspaper La Jornada, the sixth newspaper worldwide to receive a package of filtrated cables from the US State Department from Sunshine Press Productions¸ headed by Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks. She has published several news stories based on the cables. Her conclusion about the stories La Jornada published using the cables is that “Mexico is a penetrated state by the US.” Her conference unpacks this argument thoroughly. In addition to Petrich’s conclusion, many media, political analysts, and scholars agreed that a consequence of the publication of news stories based on the US State Department cables was the resignation of US Ambassador to Mexico, Carlos Pascual.
