The Bogotá Times is an independent local newspaper focused on Bogotá — its politics, its life, and what matters most to bogotanos and Colombians. We publish sharp opinion and analysis on politics, lifestyle, arts and culture, from a perspective rooted in the city.

Why we exist

Too many voices and stories never make it into the mainstream press. Our mission is to make visible the people, communities and profiles that regular news outlets overlook — and to give readers honest, independent commentary on the issues shaping Bogotá and Colombia.

What we cover

  • Politics — Bogotá and national politics, elections and the decisions that affect everyday life.
  • Opinion — independent analysis and commentary on the debates that matter.
  • Life, arts & culture — the culture, lifestyle and creative life of the city.
  • Profiles — the people and stories the mainstream media ignore.

Independent by design

We are committed to editorial independence, accuracy and giving bogotanos and Colombians journalism that speaks to their reality. The Bogotá Times is edited by Hebert Romero. [Add a short bio and any contributors here.]
