The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many community media, which often have poor internet connection. Some even had to close. But Indigenous and rural communities sought solutions to strengthen connections, solidarity, and sharing of tools and information. Colmena (“Beehive”), a digital and radio newsroom, is one of these remedies, a legacy of the COVID-19 crisis as well as the disinformation surge. It seeks to be a space for Indigenous and rural communicators and journalists from Latin America (Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil) and Africa (Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Kenya).
