Print Journalism Placements in Argentina with Projects Abroad


Volunteers participating on a print journalism project in Argentina work on the magazine Huellas (Footsteps). This is a monthly magazine that accompanies the Sunday edition of a local newspaper; La Voz Del Interior. This paper is distributed throughout the Sierras Chicas, from Salsipuedes to Agua de Oro, La Granja and its five districts. It is also distributed in Cordoba itself by the Tourist Agency and in Buenos Aires from Cordoba House, so your work will reach a huge potential audience.

Our Journalism project in Argentina is based in the small town of Salsipuedes in the Sierras Chicas on the outskirts of Cordoba, 40 minutes from our office in Villa Allende and one hour outside of Cordoba.

Huellas magazine covers a variety of topics, from news and current affairs to cultural and historical information about the region. The magazine is also geared towards tourists, however, the magazine is currently only written in Spanish. The team at Huellas is planning to expand the publication and offer articles in both Spanish and English with the help of our volunteers. Volunteers would be introduced to the heritage of the region by helping to translate articles and by researching and covering local stories of interest. This will enable the creators of Huellas to reach not only the local or national community, but tourists as well.

If you would like to read more about Huellas, you can find the magazine on line at: www.huellassalsipuedes.com.ar

Your Role as a Journalism Volunteer in Argentina


Working alongside the small family team of local journalists, you will be given a range of responsibilities; everything from researching stories and interviewing people to writing articles and editing. You can also learn about, and help to design, basic page layouts and get involved in various aspects of producing the publication. The newspaper is also contributed to by local residents, so you could get involved with editing, proofreading or even translating articles written by the locals, if your Spanish is up to it!

This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved with all aspects of publishing and developing a small publication, learning various journalism techniques, whilst experiencing life in this stunning and traditional Argentinean village.

Volunteers will need intermediate Spanish to make the most of this project.
