Colombian news combines long-established Bogotá dailies with a fast-growing digital sector and a regional press that matters a great deal outside the capital. The list below covers all three.
El Tiempo is the largest national daily and El Espectador the oldest, with Semana the dominant newsweekly. El Colombiano in Medellín, El País in Cali, El Heraldo in Barranquilla, El Universal in Cartagena and Vanguardia in Bucaramanga are the principal regional papers.
Broadcast newsrooms carry very large online audiences: Noticias Caracol, Noticias RCN, Blu Radio, W Radio and La FM.
The digital-native sector is unusually strong and often sets the investigative agenda. La Silla Vacía covers power and politics, Las2orillas and Razón Pública publish analysis and opinion, Colombia Check fact-checks, and Pulzo, Kienyke and Cambio reach large general audiences.
Business and markets run through Portafolio, La República and Valora Analitik. Football is covered by Gol Caracol, Futbolred and Win Sports. Everything publishes in Spanish, apart from The Bogotá Post and Colombia Reports in English.
