After reporter Marcelo Huanco Dorado learned that hospitals in the eastern Bolivian city of Santa Cruz faced a critical shortage of ambulances, he immediately posted the story on santacruzhoy.info.

Created by Knight International Journalism Fellow Celia Cernadas, santacruzhoy.info is more than just a website. It’s also a new nationwide distribution channel for radio reports. Audio postings by rural journalists can be posted on the site and downloaded by radio stations across the country.

Prior to this, Huanco’s story would have just aired locally. Now, it had national reach.
