Students at Colegio Cooperativo Utrahuilca joined a Prensa Escuela workshop by LA NACIÓN, discussing media evolution and crafting their own news front pages. The event highlighted their skills in interpreting current affairs and judicial stories, covering topics from economic data to local events like coffee production declines and the Huila Half Marathon.
At an classroom in Colegio Cooperativo Utrahuilca, the workshop opened with a question: who used to receive handwritten letters? Students laughed, saying "boyfriends" and "family," then shifted to contrasting physical newspapers with digital ones.
They handled LA NACIÓN copies curiously, drawn to economics, investigation, and interpretive sections. They debated money's role in journalism and broke down current and judicial news, addressing what happened, why it matters, and who is affected.
In groups, they built front pages with invented or reinterpreted stories, such as coffee production and export drops, or a runner pushed to the brink in the Huila Half Marathon. Older students explored press roles, from reporters to administrative staff.
The session revealed how youth engage with information, turning it into informed judgment and viewing journalism as a team effort.
