Not usually a fan of Vice News, but this hits the nail on the head for Z journalism (including this website unfortunately).

"Astudillo told the reporters in Acapulco that they should look to the smaller resort city of Zihuatanejo where ,he said, a concerted effort to pay less attention to the violence was helping the local economy.

"In Zihuatanejo they are very aware of what is happening, but they also want tourism and they want jobs," he said. "That's why they have a pact of silence in order to keep hotels at 100 percent capacity."
