About Us

 LatamPress is an independent digital news platform created with the firm conviction that journalism in Latin America needs to be reimagined, reclaimed, and defended. In an era marked by media concentration, political pressure, disinformation, and algorithmic noise, we stand as a collective voice committed to truth, context, and public service. Our mission is to inform with honesty, depth, and a regional perspective that amplifies the stories and voices often ignored by traditional outlets. We believe that journalism is not only about reporting facts but about making sense of them, connecting them to broader social, cultural, political, and human realities. We were born out of the need for a space where journalists can work freely, where readers can find trustworthy content, and where Latin American stories are told by those who live them. At LatamPress, we cover a wide range of topics including human rights, democracy, environment, social justice, migration, corruption, gender issues, public health, and indigenous communities. We are not driven by clicks or trending topics, but by relevance, impact, and public interest. Our editorial decisions are made independently and transparently, without influence from advertisers, political actors, or corporate groups.

LatamPress operates as a decentralized newsroom. Our contributors are located across various countries in Latin America and beyond, each bringing their own voice, experience, and local context. This network allows us to deliver content that is both regionally grounded and globally aware. We value collaboration, not competition. We often work with grassroots media, independent reporters, academics, and civil society organizations to enrich our stories and ensure a diversity of sources and perspectives. Our content is original, multilingual when needed, and designed to be accessible. We reject sensationalism and dehumanizing coverage. We believe journalism should serve people, not manipulate them. This is why we take care in how we tell stories, whose voices we include, and how we frame the issues. Our reporting always seeks to explain, contextualize, and provoke thought — not just to inform, but to empower.

We are also committed to technological innovation, but not at the expense of journalistic ethics. While we use digital tools to reach wider audiences and optimize our processes, we never allow automation or artificial intelligence to replace human editorial judgment. We believe the future of journalism is not in the hands of algorithms, but in the hands of journalists who understand their role as public servants. We actively resist the logic of virality, and instead focus on meaningful reach. We believe that a well-informed society is essential to any functioning democracy, and that journalism must remain one of its pillars — especially in regions where democratic institutions are fragile or under threat.

LatamPress is self-managed and sustained by the support of its readers, collaborators, and partnerships with other independent organizations. We do not rely on advertising platforms that impose editorial or commercial conditions. We value transparency, accountability, and the trust of our audience. We are constantly working to improve our editorial practices, safeguard our sources, and ensure the integrity of the information we publish. We are open to dialogue, corrections, and critique. If we make mistakes, we acknowledge them and correct them. Our credibility is not based on perfection, but on responsibility.

At LatamPress, we understand journalism as a commitment to people. We want to be a space where readers don’t just consume news, but participate in the public conversation, question power, and connect with the realities that define our region. We are not neutral, but we are fair. We stand against injustice, abuse, censorship, and silence. We stand with those who are building a more equitable, inclusive, and democratic Latin America. That is why we exist, and that is why we will continue.

If you believe in independent journalism with a Latin American perspective, we invite you to read, share, collaborate, and support LatamPress. This project belongs to no one and everyone at the same time. It is built day by day by the hands and voices of those who refuse to accept a world where truth is optional.
