Katarina Szulc - "You're Not Walking in a City, You're Walking in a Morgue" | SRS #341

Katarina Szulc is a Canadian investigative journalist based in Mexico, known for her on-the-ground reporting on cartel violence, organized crime, political corruption, and security issues. After beginning her career in traditional newsrooms with outlets including CBC and CityNews Vancouver, she shifted toward independent field reporting to get closer to the stories unfolding on the ground. Through her work and Borderland: Dispatches, Szulc reports from some of Mexico’s most volatile regions, tracking cartel leadership, evolving criminal tactics, and the growing intersection between organized crime, technology, and modern warfare.
