NEWSPAPERS
Colombia news is easily read online if outside the country or in the major newspapers.
When in Medellin, the three main papers are:
- El Colombiano (The major newspaper on Medellin)
www.eolcolombiano.com.co
- El Tiempo (The main national newspaper)
www.eltiempo.com
- El Mundo (A more cultural and in-depth paper on Antioquia)
www.elmundo.com
Personally, find El Colombiano very light and I'm not convinced about its' objectivity but it's fine for general news on Medellin and the surrounding area, has movie listings and the likes.
El Tiempo is definitely more serious but not a local paper so there's a trade-off.
El Mundo seems more culturally inclined and has far more listings on art and cultural events taking place in the city.
BOLSA DE VALORES DE BOGOTA (The stock exchange of Bogota)For traders and investors interested in information on the stock markets the following sites are useful:
www.grupoaval.com.co- This is the best site I know of for historic graphs and quotes.
www.bvc.com.co- Alternatively, there's the official Bolsa de Valores de Bogota website that is useful for near-real time quotes but I find it's clumsy when trying to find historic graphs.
