Washington Post Opinions today announced investigative Venezuelan reporter Luz Mely Reyes and Peruvian journalist Diego Salazar as contributors to Post Opinión.

Reyes, who for more than 25 years has reported for Venezuela’s leading publications, will write about politics, migration and gender issues in her native country. She is the co-founder and CEO of Efecto Cocuyo, one of the most recognized independent journalism platforms in Venezuela. In 2018, she won the Gabo Foundation Award.
That year, Time Magazine named her one of the Guardians of Truth in its Person of the Year feature. Her various other recognitions include the Freedom of Expression Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists, the LASA Media Award from the Latin American Studies Association, the Franco-German Prize for Human Rights, and the WOLA Human Rights Award.
Salazar will offer analysis on political and social affairs in Peru, and the media space in Latin America. He has worked as a journalist for more than 15 years, and his writing has been published in outlets such as The New York Times, El País, VICE News, Foreign Policy, El Diario, Radio Ambulante, Ojo Público and Quinto Elemento Lab. In 2018, he won the Peruvian National Journalism Award.
