FLORES ESCALANTE, Justo Miguel. Press freedom after the Revolution: The Diario de Yucatan (1931-1933). Tzintzun. Rev. estud. históricos [online]. 2015, n.61, pp.207-244. ISSN 2007-963X.

The court decision in favor of the Diario de Yucatán is one of the most important cases concerning freedom of the press in the first half of twentieth-century Mexico. Although the paper might have been shuttered for its conservative tone, publishing articles against the revolutionary government of Bartolomé García Correa, who was close to ex-president Plutarco Elias Calles and the Partido Nacional Revolucionario (PNR), it received legal approval to keep printing. The judicial process of Diario de Yucatán demonstrates increasing strength of the judicial system and the differences at several levels of justice as Mexico recovered from war.
