GeoPark marks Journalists’ Day by reaffirming its commitment to strengthening local journalism

On Journalists’ Day – celebrated every February 9 in Colombia – GeoPark reaffirms its commitment to strengthening local journalism as a fundamental pillar of democracy, territorial cohesion, and building trust in the territories it operates in.

Since 2016, the Company has committed to developing journalists’ capacities in Casanare and Putumayo, recognizing communication as a tool to connect realities, open conversations and contribute to territorial development. To strengthen journalism at a local level, GeoPark has supported training programs delivered by media outlets and universities such as the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.

In 2025, the Company worked with La Silla Vacía to offer a hybrid technical program that trained 50 journalists in key issues and tools of the profession such as the use of Artificial Intelligence, the financial sustainability of the media, digital narratives, disinformation, and coverage with a territorial approach.

In the first quarter of 2025, GeoPark and the Humboldt Institute also held face-to-face workshops in Casanare and Putumayo on environmental and scientific communication. Twenty-five journalists took part, strengthening their ability to rigorously cover issues such as biodiversity, climate change and sustainability.

This Journalists’ Day, GeoPark recognizes the important work of reporters in the field and renews its commitment to supporting opportunities that enhance responsible, engaged journalism that contributes to sustainable regional development.
