Our investigative journalism program is a central pillar of the residency. Each year, rising-star journalists from both sides of the border join us in Tepoztlán to work on cutting-edge stories that address the issues our world is currently grappling with. Under the tutelage of renowned journalist Homero Campa Butrón, this year’s Volcanistas developed their pieces over the course of our two-week residency.
El programa de periodismo es un pilar importante de la residencia. Cada año, periodistas de alto talento vienen a Tepoztlán para trabajar en investigaciones sobre los temas más importantes de nuestra época. Bajo el liderazgo del reconocido periodista Homero Campa Butrón, los Volcanistas de este año desarrollaron sus investigaciones a través de las dos semanas de residencia.
