Abstract
Este trabajo nace desde el interés sobre: ¿Qué está pasando con la tierra en Copacabana? Desde hace un tiempo se ha evidenciado como muchas zonas rurales están cambiando, en especial la Vereda La Veta. Los cultivos y las fincas que siempre se han caracterizado por su nivel de producción, se están convirtiendo en urbanizaciones, y con eso también cambia la vida de quienes han vivido toda su vida allí, como lo son los campesinos. A través de una serie de pódcast recolecté los testimonios de campesinos, comprador, ingeniero y funcionario. Cada uno de ellos aportaron algo que decir sobre el uso del suelo en Copacabana, y aunque sus visiones son diferentes, todas son importantes. Este proyecto busca mostrar como las decisiones que se han tomado y cada cambio afecta la forma en que se vive y se siente el territorio. Mi investigación es de tipo cualitativo, y en ella combiné entrevistas, visitas a la vereda La Veta, lectura de documentos y demás. Logré tener contacto con personas que han vendido sus tierras con el corazón dividido, con otras que ven oportunidades de progreso, y con muchas dudas sobre lo que viene. Ya que la única opción es migrar del lugar donde han habitado la mayor parte de su vida, buscando nuevas oportunidades en las grandes ciudades. El producto final es una serie de tres capítulos que mezcla historias reales con sonidos familiares. Cada episodio busca conectar emocionalmente con quien lo escucha y dejar una pregunta abierta sobre el futuro de nuestros territorios. Este trabajo me deja como enseñanza que el periodismo puede y debe servir para dar voz a quienes no son escuchados. Detrás de cada metro de tierra hay memoria, dolor, esperanza, decisiones difíciles y sobre todo una gran trayectoria. Esto me hizo sentir que, desde lo que sé y desde lo que amo hacer, también puedo aportar a cuidar lo que somos y cómo podemos dar testimonios para ser escuchados.
This project was born from a personal question: What is happening to the land in Copacabana? Over time, many rural areas—especially La Veta, a well-known village—have started to change. The lands that once held crops and productive farms are now becoming urban developments. And with this shift, the lives of the people who have always lived there—mostly farmers—are changing too. Through a podcast series, I collected the voices of farmers, a buyer, an engineer, and a local official. Each of them offered a unique perspective on land use in Copacabana. While their views may differ, all of them matter. This project aims to show how each decision and transformation affects the way people experience and relate to their territory. This is a qualitative research project that involved interviews, visits to La Veta, document analysis, and conversations with locals. I spoke with people who sold their land with mixed feelings—some hopeful about progress, others worried and unsure about the future. Many have had to leave behind the place they’ve known their whole lives in search of new opportunities in the city. The final product is a three-episode podcast that blends real-life stories with familiar sounds. Each episode aims to emotionally connect with listeners and spark reflection about the future of our territories. This project taught me that journalism should give voice to those who are not always heard. Behind every piece of land, there is memory, pain, hope, and long histories. From what I’ve learned and love to do, I now know I can help protect who we are—by listening and telling these stories.
