How Is Latin American Journalism Resisting Authoritarianism?

In the face of authoritarianism – marked by often violent attacks on democratic processes, press freedom, and journalists (along with other forms of abuse) – we will explore how Latin American journalists and photographers are resisting.
In particular, we will discuss how CONNECTAS, a hemispheric platform and regional reference for investigative journalism, works by promoting in-depth, collaborative reports that help to expose abuses of power by disseminating evidence-based analyses.
This event features a discussion with Carlos Eduardo Huertas, director of CONNECTAS, who will present some of the most impactful and in-depth reports produced by the platform, and Carlos Herrera, a photographer from Nicaragua who has directly confronted the very challenges we will be discussing. Carlos Herrera will showcase his photographic work and offer a personal perspective on how investigative photojournalism can navigate and address abuses of power.
The event will be moderated by Leonardo Carrato.
