Thanks to funding from MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI), Diego will be part of the project Cartografía de los medios informativos peruanos [Cartography of Peruvian informative media] from June to August 2020, period in which he will be collaborating with the necessary fieldwork to assess the state of journalism in the country.
