Well, not quite, though soon: In a joint communique, MVS Radio and Carmen Aristegui announced that the journalist will be back at the radio station the coming Jan. 21.
The joint statement, which can be read here, referred to demands from its listeners for her reinstatement, and moreover to its code of ethics, noting that an ombudsman would be appointed who will evaluate the station's content based on this code of ethics, which MVS radio had accused Aristegui of breaking. No apology was offered to Aristegui, which she had previously demanded.
I wonder if we'll ever know more about what led to her dismissal: Was any pressure coming from the presidential office of Felipe Calderón, or was this simply an independent decision by the company?
In any event: This is wonderful news.
