This is an audiovisual platform that presents reports on the reality of Paraguay from alternative approaches. They focus on urban journalism and tell those stories that we probably come across every day without paying enough attention, bringing the voices of their protagonists closer to Internet users. They deliver a three-minute podcast daily through WhatsApp and Twitter, with the main news at the national level and the most outstanding news at the international level. Furthermore, since the creation of this alternative digital medium, innovations in content have been implemented. They designed a section of interviews, of political conversations, called #LomitosyLeyendas, under the motto:: There is no confession that resists the intimacy of a street lomito, accompanied by an ice-cold beer. The #PoliticalClass segment, under the slogan:  Politics does not have to be complicated or difficult to understand. In it, political actors represent their ideas, actions, projects through conceptual maps captured on a blackboard. Created before the general elections in Paraguay in April 2018, this segment served to learn about the proposals of the Congressional candidates in a friendly and entertaining way. WHY LATITUDE25? It refers to the geographical location of Asunción, the capital of Paraguay, which is located between parallels 25°15′ and 25°20′ south latitude; and between the meridians 57°40′ and 57°30′ west longitude. RECOGNITIONS She received the award for “Journalistic Work Committed to Human Rights” 2017, from Amnesty International Paraguay, because they have been able to generate a critical and reflective look at Paraguayan society, regarding the fulfillment and protection of human rights in that country.
