WHO WILL TEACH THE WORKSHOP: JOURNALISTS FROM ALHARACA AND PRESENT
ADO
Alharaca is a feminist media outlet that works collaboratively at the intersection of journalism, art, academia, and new technologies. It is a feminist space because it is a form of resistance, a source of possibilities, a network to support ourselves and others.
PRESENT AGENCY
A regional digital media outlet specializing in gender, diversity, and human rights. We cover news, stories, and human rights violations against LGBTI+ people, human rights defenders, Indigenous women, and migrants from an intersectional perspective. We report on these struggles and seek to influence public opinion, combating discrimination and disinformation. We also strive to improve journalistic practices as a way to fight discrimination and contribute to building pluralistic and democratic communication.
We are Present
We are committed to a type of journalism that delves deeply into the realm of the world and offers in-depth research, combined with new technologies and narrative formats. We want the protagonists, their stories, and their struggles to be present.
