Rocío Fernández, a journalist based in Costa Rica, has discovered a unique space for her work within the pages of ‘Áncora’ and previously ‘Cultura’ at *La Nación*. She’s found freedom in writing for sections often considered less immediate or “not breaking news.” This approach allows her to champion artistic endeavors within Costa Rica, providing vital support for the nation’s cultural scene. Fernández views journalism not just as reporting, but as a deeply personal and creative practice. Her work reflects on the significance of long-form, thoughtful reporting, away from the pressures of constant news cycles. This exploration of her professional journey coincides with the 80th anniversary of *La Nación*, Costa Rica’s prominent newspaper. Ultimately, Fernández’s experience highlights the value of nurturing space for in-depth analysis and artistic support within the Costa Rican media landscape.
