Colombia is one of the Latin American countries with the most human rights violations directed toward journalists. This article presents a brief review that identifies the main characteristics of Colombian journalism, among others its connections with powerful corporate and political sectors that have facilitated the development of an official kind of journalism that is comfortable with those in power. We also identified another facet, represented by critical journalists, not aligned with official institutions and that have suffered various kinds of violations to their rights, censorship and have even been murdered. Finally, we highlight initiatives that have strived to protect Colombian journalists and we present a proposal for linking science, the academia and investigative journalism.
