María del Carmen Aristegui Flores (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkaɾ.men a.ɾisˈte.ɣi]; born January 18, 1964) is a Mexican journalist and news anchor. She is widely regarded as one of Mexico's leading journalists and opinion leaders, and is best known for her critical investigations of the Mexican government.[1][2] She is the anchor of the news program Aristegui on CNN en Español, and writes regularly for the opinion section of the periodical Reforma.[3] In March 2015, she was illegally[4] fired from MVS Radio 102.5 FM in Mexico City following a report[5] on the conflicts of interest by then Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto with a state contractor. The contractor had allegedly built a millionaire residence for the president and his family. She manages her own news website and hosts an online morning newscast, which is also broadcast on Grupo Radio Centro's XERC-FM.
