Daniel Villatoro is the Coordinator of the Latin American LGBTI journalism Initiative by the International Women's Media Foundation, a program that trains and provides support to media on accurate reporting to surpass prejudice. Over 3 years, 120 journalists from Mexico to Honduras and over 400 editors from Spanish speaking media have been trained in gender perspective and diversity reporting. Villatoro founded Impronta, a Central American queer culture magazine; has published five journalism guides on different aspects of inclusive reporting; and his book “The registry of violence against LGBTI people” won the Latin American Open Data Initiative call for new voices. He has been a finalist at the Gabriel Garcia Marquez prize, the Roche award for health reporting, and the Media Innovation in Sexual Health awards. He also investigated the local Paradise Papers stories as part of the global collaborative reporting project. Some of his findings have been used in discussions on presidential debates and have been presented as criminal evidence in cases against Guatemala's former president and different political parties.
