== Impact ==
María Isabella Cordero's death indicates just how widespread the violence is in Mexico. It showed that not just journalists were being killed; but those in public relations as well. It was a gauge of how far the violence had advanced.

== Reactions ==
In response to all of the violence against journalists, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) successfully advocated for the legal prosecution for crimes against the press in Mexico.<ref name=CPJ>{{cite web|last=Smyth |first=Frank |url=http://cpj.org/security/2012/08/mexico-must-back-up-federal-measure-to-protect-pre.php |title=Mexico must back up federal measure to protect press - Journalist Security - Committee to Protect Journalists |publisher=Cpj.org |date=2012-08-17 |accessdate=2012-11-14}}</ref> This will bring criminals to justice and possibly deter future criminals from committing crimes.
