Journalism: A Double-Edged Sword
Journalists, the supposed guardians of truth, have a crucial role to play. They need to step up, ensuring that their reporting is non-violent, fair and highlights the systemic nature of racism. It is time to stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution.
Francia Márquez’s struggle is a spotlight on Colombia’s deep-rooted racism and discrimination. It is a clear call for all sectors of society, especially journalists, to step forward, break the chains of systemic racism and stand up for equality and justice for all Colombians.
