Colombia
Journal
The mission of Colombia Journal is to promote political, social and
economic justice in Colombia by creating a greater awareness and understanding
of U.S. foreign policy. To this end, Colombia Journal provides
investigative reports based on field research conducted in Colombia and
editorial analysis from a variety of perspectives on the left—from the moderate,
center-left (social democrats) to the hard left (socialists)—as an alternative
to the mainstream corporate media, which is overly-reliant on official sources.
We believe that easy and affordable access to information and analysis on U.S.
foreign policy in Colombia from perspectives other than that presented by the
establishment media is essential if citizens are to effectively participate in
the democratic process.

as encourage the formulation of rational and constructive U.S. policies towards
Latin America. In 1982, COHA’s board of trustees voted to expand its mandate to
