The initiative of #InvaluableJournalism, created by CONNECTAS (our main ally of journalism in the Americas) refers to the values of independence and quality, and also to the bravery and extraordinary conditions under which journalists undertake their work.
ARRCO contributed to this initiative (established in 2023) with the initial funds from the Maria Moors Cabot Prize, the oldest award in the field of journalism. Our CEO Carlos Eduardo Huertas was honored with this prize in recognition of his career and his contribution to journalism in the Americas.
We are also backed by contributions from organizations and individuals who have generously supported the activities deriving from our mission, which are executed with our allies in favor of journalism.

Society’s fragmentation, evinced in mounting polarization, conflict, wars, environmental destruction (to name a few), pushes social well-being away amidst fake and malicious news, disrespect for human rights, declining education, and estrangement from democratic values. As a result, audiences have fewer and less opportunities to acquire tools to freely navigate their lives.
ARCCO is an articulator of willing efforts. It helps different types of organizations, particularly those interested in the Global South, to build bridges and close gaps, foster encounters, and provide training and information to boost human development. Its goal is to drive prosperity for individuals and opportunities for better social coexistence.
operate?Our mission is to provide educational support and to develop editorial capacities related to current topics and editorial and journalistic content production of news and events with local and regional interest.

This methodology enables direct or alliance-based articulation of training and information to close the gaps of society. We are open to synergies.
