Congratulations to Mexican journalists Juan Pablo Narcia and Gabriel Martínez who have been awarded Mexico’s top journalism prize for their reporting during an immigration program organized by InquireFirst in November 2025.
Juan Pablo, who reports on the Senate and binational diplomacy for the N+ (Televisa/Univision) television network, and Gabriel, director of production at N+, were awarded the Premio Nacional de Periodismo en México (National Journalism Award in Mexico) for their reporting from Texas and Arizona on border enforcement and human rights issues.
The team of reporters participated in an intensive week-long InquireFirst program that took them to Presidio, Texas, and Tucson, Arizona. In receiving the award during a March 20, 2026, ceremony in Mexico City, their coverage of “Operación Espejo” – a joint U.S.-Mexico operation to deter illegal border crossings – was singled out for praise by the judges.
Juan Pablo credited the participation in our InquireFirst program with giving the team access to high-level sources and locations on the Southwest border where they could conduct their award-winning reporting.
“The coordination and help you provided were key for making the coverage possible,” Juan Pablo said. “It really made a difference for this work.”
