Reforma

The newspaper Reforma was founded 25 years ago in Mexico City. In 1994 it faced a boycott from the Union of Newspaper Distributers of Mexico City which wanted to stop its distribution. A fast solution has been found with the support of private network of small enterprises that provided for newspaper distribution independent from the trade union. Reforma has established itself as one of the most important media in Mexican journalism.
