Banking mogul all but destroys Colombia's leading news magazine
by Adriaan Alsema November 12, 2020
Banking moguls Jaime Gilinski all but destroyed what used to be Colombia’s most influential news magazine after appointing a controversial media personality as editor-in-chief.
The appointment of Vicky Davila, a member of the Gnecco crime family, as director of Semana triggered an unprecedented walkout and the destruction of the magazine’s reputation.
“Polarization is profitable”
The Gilinski family’s belief he could turn Semana into Colombia’s Fox News was already met with skepticism and may have been destroyed by putting Davila in charge.
The in-law of the Gnecco crime family and her friend, far-right columnist Salud Hernandez, may be close to the government of President Ivan Duque, but appeal only to the shrinking number of supporters of Duque’s political patron, far-right former President Alvaro Uribe.
