Visting El Espectador

Our trip to El Espectador was completely worthwhile. I realized Journalism is very complex, but also very interesting. I liked the fact that we were toured by one of the journalists, this way, our visit covered many areas. In general, all the people we met were kind and helpful when explaining us their jobs. I also liked that all of them seemed very proud of the newspaper, plus the fact that they valued things such as tradition and culture. They wrote their journalism from a romantic perspective, preferring to write profound and analitic pieces over updated news. This quality enhances their appreciation for good writing, and in a way, it persuased me to read their newspaper. El Espectador also seemed very concerned and aware of their audience, because, as we were told, they always tried to write in a way that would satisfy eager and curious readers. When our visit was over, I felt like I had learned so much about Journalism, and that I was really interested for our visit the next day, to El Tiempo.
