Una guerra adictiva gathers nine organizations that cover Latin America: the regional initiatives, Centro Latinoamericano de Investigación Periodística, Dromómanos and OCCRP, Mexico’s El Universal and Quinto Elemento - Laboratorio de Investigación Periodística, El Salvador’s El Faro, Peru’s IDL - Reporteros, Colombia’s 070 and Brazil’s Ponte Jornalismo.
