Periodismo de investigación

Within a hostile context for citizens and the planet, 20 Latin American media sources reflect on the global and regional implications of Donald Trump's return to the U.S. presidency. His withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, his anti-immigrant policy and his climate change denial have a wide-reaching impact that seriously affects the future of the planet. We are committed to journalism that transcends catastrophizing and is anchored in the complexity of reality. Our goal is to denounce abuses of power, to give visibility to resilience and to amplify the voices of the most vulnerable sectors. In the current situation, which is characterized by polarization, misinformation and information overwhelm, we want to reaffirm our mission to investigate, explain and connect the critical dots to contribute to a deeper and more nuanced understanding of these challenging times.
