Some 225 Latin American journalists will participate in a series of seminars and workshops in Cartagena, Colombia, designed to improve the quality of news reporting on political, social and economic issues.

Costs for attending the program will be covered in large part by IDB-funded scholarships.

Topics will include corruption, elections, civil society, economic and political reform, conflict resolution, economic integration, environment, and poverty.

The program will be carried out by the Foundation for a New Ibero-American Journalism, which was founded by Colombian novelist and journalist Gabriel García Márquez.
