Carlos Salgado
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlos Salgado (? - October 11, 2007) was a Honduran radio journalist and comedian. Salgado hosted a satirist radio show called "Bean the Terrible" and focused on social commentary and the satire of well known public figures in Honduras.[1] His career as a popular radio journalist and commentator last more than 40 years.[2]
Salgado was shot several times as he left his job at Radio Cadena Voices in Tegucigalpa on October 11, 2007.[1] He was taken to a local hospital in the capitol city where he was pronounced dead. Salgado was 67 years old.[2] Salgado's killers escaped. It was unclear exactly why Salgado was murdered,[2] though his radio show often criticized social conditions and politics in Honduras.[1]
Salgado's killing came at a time of increased tension between the Honduran media and the government of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.[1] The Honduran media had been increasingly critical of several of Zelaya's policies.[1]
