La Silla Vacía

http://lasillavacia.com/

La Silla Vacía is an informative and interactive media organization for people interested in Colombian politics.

Its site notes: "More than covering the news of the day and attending press conferences, we focus on those stories that really describe how power is exercised in Colombia: on the characters who pull the strings of power, the strategies to achieve and maintain it, and the ideas and interests that underlie the country's big decisions."

Since its launch in 2009, La Silla Vacía has become one of the five most relevant digital media outlets for Colombia's leaders, according to several studies and media surveys.

The La Silla Vacía team has received national and international awards for its work. In 2013, they won the German Prize for Journalism and Development. They also received the Prince Clauss World Prize in Holland, the 201 Simón Bolívar National Journalism Prize for Laura Ardila of La Silla Caribe, the 2014 Bogotá Journalists Circle (CPB) Journalism Prize for Juanita León as an Emerging Journalist, and the 2016 Gabriel García Márquez Prize from the FNPI for the series "The Justice That Comes from La Havana."
