Killing of journalists in Uchuraccay

On January 26, 1983, eight journalists from three Lima newspapers were murdered in the town of Uchuraccay. This was the most notorious case in the interior of the country in the early 1980s. The report mentions this event in the context of how the attacks in the provinces did not have the same media resonance as those in the capital, Lima. The Uchuraccay massacre received wide coverage, in contrast to other massacres that occurred in the same period that received less media coverage.
