The Inter American Press Association is kicking off a workshop about how to diminish journalists' risks with the debut of a documentary commemorating the assassination of journalist Francisco Ortiz Franco in Tijuana, Mexico, on June 22, 2004, according to the newspaper El Universal.

The documentary, "The Creak of the Words," tells the story of Ortiz Franco, co-editor for the newspaper Zeta, who covered organized crime in Mexico. His killing remains unsolved.
