This weekend is Day de los Muetos, or Day of the Dead, a holiday celebrated in Mexico and other parts of Latin America.

It's a mix of grief and joy honoring the dead.

In Tijuana, Mexico this year, they took the opportunity to remember journalists who've been killed while reporting.

From member station K PBS in San Diego, Matthew

Bowler has the story. The Offrenda or altar holds special spiritual significance for

Mexicans. And this one is significant for the group of people it's remembering. Built by

journalists, four journalists. It's been a difficult year in Mexico to be in the business of reporting.

We are bringing back the reporters killed for this occasion to tell them that we respected their efforts

and we believe that journalism is alive.

Vicente Calderon has been a journalist in Tijuana since 1985.

He's seen dozens of Mexican reporters killed during his career.

For many, it's a dangerous job.

In 2016, a UN campaign to end impunity for crimes against journalists

inspired him to build an altar to honor

his falling colleagues. It is decorated with traditional objects of devotion like sugar skulls and

brightly colored sympasuchil or marigold flowers. But look closer. You also see broken cell phones,

old cameras, press passes, yellow newspapers, and used

notebooks. Margarito was gone down coming out of his home, and less than a week later,

Lorde Zmandonado was killed when she was arriving to her house. Sempasuchel Pettles spell out the

words, no impunity or no impunity.

Impunity is not compliance with the rule of law and the lack of punishment to whoever

who committed a crime.
