This week, we're bringing you another episode of News Bites, a series of live interviews about the craft of journalism.   

Today’s guest is Silvia Montaña-Niño. Silvia is a new CAJ lecturer and was a journalist at El Espectador, one of Columbia’s most important newspapers.  

At the start of her career, Columbia was besieged by guerilla warfare and death squads. Drug lords like Pablo Escobar waged brutal campaigns of terrorism. Targets included politicians, the judiciary, and journalists.  

Silvia spoke to senior tutor Bernadette Nunn about reporting amidst this chaos. They also discussed her current research into global fact checking and misinformation.
