La Silla Vacia

http://lasillavacia.com/

La Silla Vacía is an informative and interactive outlet for people interested in Colombian politics. Its website says, "More than covering the news of the day and going to press conferences, we focus on those stories that really describe how power is exercised in Colombia: in the characters that move the threads of power, on the strategies for achieving power and keeping it, in addition to the ideas and interests that underlie the country's great decisions."

Since it was launched in 2009, La Silla Vacía has become one of the five most relevant digital media outlets for the country's leaders, according to several studies and media polls. The team has received national and international awards for their work. In 2013, they won the German Journalism and Development Award. Juanita León won as a Revelation journalist and the site won the Gabriel García Márquez Award in 2016 for the series "La justicia que sale de La Habana."
