Digital media outlet from Michoacán, Mexico, reports death threats

“Since May 6, the journalistic platform Portal Hidalgo [based in the state of Michoacán, Mexico] received [...] a warning to stop publishing against the country's President, under threat of silencing the journalists of that site. Jorge Hidalgo, head of the media outlet, is already evaluating the way forward.
