Journalistic innovation in the digital age: a case from Paraguay


The newspaper ABC Color recently conducted a workshop on digital journalism so its journalists could learn to integrate new tools into their reporting. The training was planned and conducted by investigative reporter Mabel Rehnfeldt.

The training has already produced results: a digital special report about the recent kidnapping of cattle rancher Fidel Zavala. The seven-minute report, containing photos, digital maps, and other information, explains how the kidnapping took place and the role played by a rebel group called the Army of the Paraguayan People.

This is the first multimedia report to appear in a digital newspaper in Paraguay. In 24 hours, the video was viewed more than 6,000 times.
