'''Robert J. Cox''' (b. 1933) also known as '''Bob Cox''', is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[journalist]] who worked as editor of the [[Buenos Aires Herald]] newspaper, an English daily in [[Argentina]]. Cox became famous for his criticisms of the [[National Reorganization Process|military dictatorship (1976-1983)]]. He was detained and jailed and was later released and forced to leave Argentina in 1979 due to threats against his family. He moved to [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[South Carolina]], [[USA]], where he became editor of [[The Post and Courier]], owned by the same publishing company that owned the Buenos Aires Herald. In 2005 the [[Buenos Aires]] [[legislature]] recognized Cox for his valor during the dictatorship era.
== Biography ==
Robert Cox arrived in Argentina in 1959, hired as a copy editor by the Buenos Aires Herald, newspaper of the British community in Argentina. He later met Maud Daverio, an Argentine, and married her. His influence in the newspaper was vast, having them change their design and reach, from a small community-oriented newspaper, to a respected national daily. He was promoted to publisher in 1968. Under his direction, the newspaper moved to the building they occupy today in Azopardo street in Buenos Aires.
At his initiative, the Buenos Aires Herald was the first media outlet in Argentina to report that the de facto government was kidnapping people and making them "[[Forced disappearance|disappear]]". As a reporter, Cox went to the public meetings by the [[Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo]] and, also personally checked that the military authorities were using the [[cremation|crematories]] at the [[Chacarita Cemetery]] to incinerate the bodies of the "disappeared".<ref name="Bruschtein">{{es icon}} {{Cite web |title = Las notas del ‘Herald’ salvaron vidas humanas |author = Bruschtein, Luis |publisher = Página/12 |date= 14 May 2005 |url=http://www.pagina12.com.ar/2001/01-05/01-05-14/pag15.htm |accessdate = 10-Feb-2008}}</ref>
{{Quotation||The day of the coup, they called us to tell us it was forbidden to report on attacks, actions of the guerillas, or bodies found on the streets. We discovered that the violence was the same or worse. People began to come to the newspaper to report on events. We also had our sources and contacts with the foreign press agencies. When a group of priests was murdered, outside the country it was reported, correctly, that it was the act of extreme-right groups, but here, the newspapers reported it was the guerillas, the [[Montoneros]]. When people came to our offices to report on killings, I asked them to request an [[habeas corpus]]. The military forbid the publishing of news on kidnappings or corpses, without official confirmation. We took the habeas corpus requests as confirmation. I wrote two pieces for The Post a little after the coup (24 May 1976). In one I said it was not true there was freedom of expression in Argentina because the newspapers had arrived to an accord with military officials to not publish certain news. What was important to me, was to save people. I went with lists of names and said I would not put anything in the paper if these people showed up alive. We were very lucky as some of these people were saved.<ref name="Bruschtein"/>}}
Cox was detained in 1977:
{{Quotation||When they came, I was preparing an issue on the birthday of the queen of Holland. I made them wait until I was finished, then I called Maud to let her know. I looked out the window and saw a (Ford) Falcon and a Peugeot with a sunroof, with the driver who looked like a Mexican bandido, with crossed bandoliers. They took me to Coordinación Federal through the basement, and as soon as I arrived, I saw a big swastika on the wall. They put me in a cell, without clothes, a kind of tube. It was a very strong experience. I did not know it at the time, but when they detained me, there was strong international pressure. I had my contacts. Tex Harris, who was a super guy, a diplomat from the USA who had been sent by Jimmy Carter and Patricia Derian, did a lot of work to free me.<ref name="Bruschtein"/>}}
From that moment, Cox and his family lived in a permanent state of threat, suffering an attempt on his life, and his wife a failed attempt at kidnapping. When the threat of murder was imminent, he left the country. The decision was taken when one of his sons, Peter, received the following note, crudely simulating a note from the Montoneros guerilla group:
{{Quotation|Dear Peter, we know that you are worried about the things that happen to the families of your friends, and that you are afraid that something similar could happen to you and your father. We do not eat children raw at breakfast. Considering the fear you all have, and that your dad is a high-level journalist, who is more useful to us alive than dead, we have decided to send you this little note as a warning. For this reason, and in consideration to the work your father does, we offer him (and all of you: Peter, Victoria, Robert, David and Ruth) the option to leave the country, where you run the risk of being assasinated. Do what you prefer, and tell “daddy” and “mummy” to sell the house and the cars, and to go work in Paris in another of the Herald's newspapers. You can also elect to stay here, working for human rights, but we do not think that is what your parents or your aunts and uncles expecting you in England for Christmas would like. A big revolutionary salute to your dad.|Montoneros.<ref>{{es icon}} [[Magdalena Ruiz Guiñazú|Ruiz Guiñazú, Magdalena]] (2009).

Cox and family left, and settled themselves in Charleston as mentioned above, working for a sister publication as editor of the International section, covering news like the civil wars in [[El Salvador]] and [[Nicaragua]].
In 2005 the Legislatura of the city of Buenos Aires after the initiative of the vice-chief of the Cabinet, Dr. Raúl Alberto Puy, paid homage to Robert Cox as a journalist during the years of the military dictatorship. Cox received the prize "in the name of the journalists that disappeared”.<ref>{{es icon}} {{Cite web |title = Homenaje a Robert Cox, ex editor del "Herald".

'''Robert J.

Cox became famous for his criticisms of the [[National Reorganization Process|military dictatorship (1976-1983)]]. He was detained and jailed released after a day. Threats against his family, one of which contained very detailed data on his then 13 year old son, became to much; the family left Argentina in 1979. He moved to [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[South Carolina]], [[USA]], where he became an editor of [[The Post and Courier]], owned by the same publishing company that owned the Buenos Aires Herald.

Under his direction, the newspaper moved to the building they occupy today in Azopardo Street in Buenos Aires.
Cox had married into a wealthy family, and lived a privileged life; his social circle included elite families and military figures. Initially, he sympathized with the junta because of social connections, threats from the leftist guerrillas, and an expected end to repression of [[Isabel Peron]]'s government. But he and his newspaper reported clearly and often on the [[dirty war]]'s atrocities, and editorialized about them, despite the junta's prohibitions.<ref>{{cite web

== Biography ==
-Robert Cox arrived in Argentina in 1959, hired as a copy editor by the Buenos Aires Herald, newspaper of the British community in Argentina. He later met Maud Daverio, an Argentine, and married her. His influence in the newspaper was vast, having them change their design and reach, from a small community-oriented newspaper, to a respected national daily. He was promoted to publisher in 1968. Under his direction, the newspaper moved to the building they occupy today in Azopardo street in Buenos Aires.

+Cox had married into a wealthy family, and lived a privileged life; his social circle included elite families and military figures. Initially, he sympathized with the junta because of social connections, threats from the leftist guerrillas, and an expected end to repression of [[Isabel Peron]]'s government. But he and his newspaper reported clearly and often on the [[dirty war]]'s atrocities, and editorialized about them, despite the junta's prohibitions.<ref>{{cite web

At his initiative, the Buenos Aires Herald was the first media outlet in Argentina to report that the de facto government was kidnapping people and making them "[[Forced disappearance|disappear]]". As a reporter, Cox went to the public meetings by the [[Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo]] and, also personally checked that the military authorities were using the [[cremation|crematories]] at the [[Chacarita Cemetery]] to incinerate the bodies of the "disappeared".<ref name="Bruschtein">{{es icon}} {{Cite web |title = Las notas del ‘Herald’ salvaron vidas humanas |author = Bruschtein, Luis |publisher = Página/12 |date= 14 May 2005 |url=http://www.pagina12.com.ar/2001/01-05/01-05-14/pag15.htm |accessdate = 10-Feb-2008}}</ref>

{{Quotation|Dear Peter, we know that you are worried about the things that happen to the families of your friends, and that you are afraid that something similar could happen to you and your father. We do not eat children raw at breakfast. Considering the fear you all have, and that your dad is a high-level journalist, who is more useful to us alive than dead, we have decided to send you this little note as a warning. For this reason, and in consideration to the work your father does, we offer him (and all of you: Peter, Victoria, Robert, David and Ruth) the option to leave the country, where you run the risk of being assasinated. Do what you prefer, and tell “daddy” and “mummy” to sell the house and the cars, and to go work in Paris in another of the Herald's newspapers. You can also elect to stay here, working for human rights, but we do not think that is what your parents or your aunts and uncles expecting you in England for Christmas would like.
