Punto y Aparte

Punto y Aparte is an organization that believes in excellence and quality in journalism and supports solution journalism and investigative reporting. Punto y Aparte is a meeting space for good journalists, young and experienced; various companies and individuals are invited to join us as team sponsors; with journalism schools and media as intermediate and final allies. Our intention is to link all these actors to generate a fresh journalistic proposal. We do not intend to redefine journalism or journalists. We want to build a new paragraph in the history of good journalism in Costa Rica. Our objectives are: 1) To accompany young journalists in the country’s communication schools to identify social risk situations that negatively impact individuals and communities, in which there is or should be a successful social impact from individuals, groups, organizations and the state; 2) To link the different stakeholders involved in journalism in order to contribute to improve academic and professional levels that will benefit the industry and society in general.
