Jorge Lesmes & Édgar Téllez—Telling Untold Stories |
The Inter-American Press Association's website exists to document and chronicle violence against journalists throughout Latin America. Its running tally of reporters murdered in the last 20 years, by nation, shows Colombia far atop that shameful list, with more than 120 reporters killed in the line of duty. The upheavals that have made Colombia such deadly ground for media professionals have at the same time made it tantalizingly newsworthy. Jorge Lesmes and Édgar Téllez were among the key investigators in the Samper case, and it wasn’t the first nor the last time they would be in the thick of such a story.

Recruiting Latinos into Librarianship
In many parts of the United States there are few Latino librarians to fill job openings. According to Hispanic Americans: A Statistical Sourcebook (Information Publications, 2005), only 212 of a total of 5113 library science master's degrees were given to Latinos in 2001 and 2002. Only one of the 45 doctoral degrees in Library Science went to someone identified as Latino. Not only are Latino librarians few and far between but there is also concern that there will be a general shortage of librarians in the future due to large numbers of retirements.
