This month, InSight Crime participated in a panel held by Consejo de Redacción, a Colombian association of journalists that promotes investigative journalism in Latin America. 

During the event, InSight Crime Investigator Lara Loaiza spoke about her work covering organized crime in border areas. She also shared best practices for conducting safe fieldwork, and discussed how to incorporate gender perspectives in investigations related to crime. 

“Organized crime is becoming increasingly transnational, crossing borders, making it impossible to tell stories from one side,” Loaiza told the panel’s audience, which included investigative journalists from throughout the region.
