Ríodoce

The paper was founded in 2003 by a group of reporters from the daily Noroeste, including Javier Valdez Cárdenas.

[1] In September 2009, Ríodoce published a series on drug trafficking entitled "Hitman: Confession of an Assassin in Ciudad Juárez."

One morning a few days after the conclusion of the series, a grenade was thrown into Ríodoce's office, damaging the building but causing no injuries.

[2] Later in the same year, the trustees of Columbia University awarded Ríodoce the Maria Moors Cabot Prize for journalism that contributes to "inter-American understanding".

[3] In 2013, PEN International gave Ríodoce the "Excellence in Journalism" award.
