Bianca Graulau

While reporting on the inequality and unequal treatment between tourists and locals in Oaxaca, Mexico, Bianca was told to not mention the hotel chain because they were affiliated with the company.

In Oaxaca, there is a water shortage that has a great impact on the people there and in the surrounding area. But if you're a tourist, you may not even know.

This story was censored by a big and well-known media company. So I decided to tell it on my own. I look into the following question: does the current tourism model in Oaxaca lead to deeper inequality?

It's always disturbing to see the influence that money has on information flow. Kudos to Bianca Graulau for having immense journalistic integrity and not backing down on sharing this story!
