The State We’re In: “Do the Right Thing” In Mexico, investigative journalism can be a life-threatening profession. Sergio Haro is a veteran reporter for the muckraking Mexican weekly, Zeta. Haro and his colleagues continue to defy powerful drug cartels and corrupt officials as they try to make a difference with their reporting.  Plus, Sahand Sahebdivani, recently named Dutch storyteller of the year, shares a story from ancient Persia.
