Resumen
Abstract
This article analyzes the working conditions for journalists in Colombia. It presents the results of a survey conducted between September and December 2023 involving 271 journalists. The findings highlight the precarious and unstable circumstances under which these professionals operate, characterized by long working hours and insufficient guarantees. Journalists in municipalities and regions distant from urban centers face even worse conditions and lower incomes, adversely impacting the quality of information produced in those areas. Among the respondents, 127 reported dissatisfaction with their working conditions, and over 50 % indicated they would consider leaving the profession. While the survey is not representative of all journalists in the country, it offers valuable insights into the realities and challenges faced by those practicing journalism in Colombia.
