Amazon basin: Collaborative journalism during the pandemic

Working with the Ríos Voladores alliance, DW Akademie and its local partners reacted to the pandemic by developing initiatives to provide quality information and increase the visibility of vulnerable communities.

    From unheard to loud

    "Voces" is a multimedia platform jointly developed by DW Akademie and five of its partners in Latin America. This project puts a human face to the pandemic in the vast Amazon region by amplifying the perspectives of different countries and communities, mainly the most vulnerable. Videos, audio files and pictures give access to the realities of these communities on the ground.

  • DW Akademie | Corape

    Uniting the vast Amazon

    In Ecuador, Corape disseminates information from the Amazon Intercultural Radio Network (RIAR)’s radio stations in Spanish and local languages, sharing the particularities of each locality and supporting disease prevention campaigns. "We have strengthened our tools to delve deeper into the subject, but also the coverage and the RIAR network," says Jorge Guachamín, Corape's executive secretary.

  • Perú - Amazonas

    Communication means health

    Along with Peruvian Amazonian indigenous communicators, Servindi compiled audiovisual material on the region's health situation with a focus on greater equity in access to vaccines and in the recognition of diverse knowledge. "We have seen, for example, resistance to vaccines in the communities due to lack of adequate intercultural communication," says Jorge Agurto, director of Servindi.

    Unity in the face of adversity

    CRIC, from the Colombian region of Cauca, focused an entire issue of its magazine Álvaro Ulcué on the strategies indigenous communities used to protect themselves from the virus while protecting their territories. This issue was created in collaboration with several indigenous communication groups. "The pandemic affected us, but it also united us," reads the front page.

    "As the disease spread, information about this new type of coronavirus created an outbreak of global misinformation." This statement is from the Colombiacheck website. This fact-checking initiative from Colombian Consejo de Redacción works in cooperation with other fact-checkers worldwide who quote and republish each other to increase their visibility and combat disinformation about COVID-19.
