## About

The publication most relied on by Bogota's English-speaking expat community is also the city's sharpest primer on Colombian political culture for those who arrived without Spanish. Coverage of local politics, arts, culture, and urban life runs alongside practical guidance calibrated for a reader genuinely curious about Colombia rather than simply passing through it. Part lifestyle guide, part politics explainer: the two functions reinforce each other more often than they compete.

- **Funding:** Advertising, sponsored content, events
- **Focus areas:** Bogota city life, Colombian politics, arts and culture, business, expat affairs; English-language Colombian city magazine and news service


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
