A career journalist reflects on his field
Veteran journalist Peter Copeland (right) took a helicopter tour of northern Mexico in the 1980s for a story about its drug cartels. “Some of the scariest stories I covered were about drug trafficking, including the 1985 torture and murder of an American DEA agent,” Copeland said on his website. His new book, Finding the News, reveals some of the stories behind his articles.
