Meet Daniela Rea, winner of the Breach-Valdez journalism prize Daniela Rea, a Mexican journalist known for her searing chronicles of the violence gripping her country is the first recipient of the Breach-Valdez Prize in journalism and human rights. She says she had to learn to look beyond the crimes she covered to the environment of violence surrounding them. Launched in March, the prize honours journalists who risk their lives to cover human rights abuses in Mexico, following in the footsteps of two Mexican colleagues murdered last year: Miroslava Breach and Javier Valdez.
