Colombia's leading weekly under fire after sacking critical journalist, again
by Adriaan Alsema April 2, 2020
Colombia’s leading weekly Semana sacked its most critical journalist, triggering a storm of criticism and the resignation of another.
Journalist Daniel Coronell said on Twitter that he was told he was fired in a Whatsapp message by his publisher’s CEO, Sandra Suarez.
Coronell’s second dismissal in a year triggered satirical columnist Daniel Samper to resign amid a storm of criticism against the weekly that previously hired two of the country’s most incendiary columnists, Vicky Davila and Salud Hernandez.
Davila and Hernandez have been fierce apologists of Uribe, the former boss of Suarez who is currently on trial over crimes related to his alleged role in forming a death squad.
