Investigative journalism in Latin America has made leaps and bounds over the past decade, despite facing often hostile environments. Here are four of the region's best journalists who will describe the evolution of the techniques and methods in Latin American investigative reporting. Three of them are winners of the prestigious
Maria Moors Cabot Prize, the oldest international journalism award. All have investigated different schemes of polítical and criminal mafias. Mauro Konig, from Brazil's
Gazeta do Povo, was forced to leave the country for a while in January after receiving threats.
IPYS Director Ricardo Uceda, from Perú, is a true expert on the region's investigative journalism and has personally contributed to its expansion. Gerardo Reyes, from Colombia and working in the US for
Univision, is a brilliant investigator. And Daniel Santoro, from Argentina's
Clarín, is a master muckraker who teaches courses on investigative journalism across the region.
El panel ofrece una mirada de las investigaciones latinoamericanas más notables de los últimos 10 años, teniendo como insumo principalmente los trabajos ganadores del Premio Latinoamericano de Periodismo de Investigación. Se trata de una revisión regional, haciendo un repaso por Brasil (Mauri Konig), Argentina (Daniel Santoro)y el resto de Latinoamérica (Ricardo Uceda y Gerardo Reyes).
