Thanks to The Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas for featuring this useful and interesting article about the problems that have been identified within Colombia's print news. According to the article "the press faces serious quality and credibility problems" after the results of the The Antonio Nariño Project were published. The study presented the results from a content analysis of 3,000 articles published in 13 newspapers and found that the majority of newspapers only cover Colombia's armed conflict "superficially." "The newspapers' managing editors collectively announced plans to collaborate to improve the quality of coverage." Its worth having a look at the results of The Antonio Nariño Project (but bear in mind the report is in Spanish)
