What is the Colombia Briefing?
Tune out the noise! Get the week's headlines as audio & text, direct to your inbox... Your need-to-know news, every Monday since 2020
👋 I’m Emily Hart - an English freelance journalist reporting from Colombia since 2019! I’ve worked for the BBC, New York Times, Sunday Times, Sky News, Pitchfork, etc - plus a whole load of podcasting with Colombia Calling.
Colombia has so many stories to tell - many of which have been (and continue to be) neglected by the international press - and it is a real passion project of mine to find ways for people to get to know this country better.
But getting better-informed without spending all day stuck to a screen scrolling multiple newsfeeds can be pretty challenging - especially when it comes Colombian current affairs, which can be complicated even with fluent Spanish…
… So let me make it easy for you!
This video is a sample with a couple of this week’s stories - to see the full briefing, link here!
All this, every week, for just $3/month - or $30 for the full year!
