President Santos Interviewed by Dan Rather

Colombia has been in the news more and more recently, and mostly for positive reasons. Looks like it’s about to happen again. Dan Rather is one of the US’s most recognised journalists. Though his career has had its ups and downs, he remains dedicated to bringing hard-edge journalism and in-depth interviews to the masses.

This weekend his will be interviewing President Juan Manuel Santos. Undoubtedly Santos’s changing drug policies will be brought up, as well as many other hard-hitting topics. Hopefully Rather will find some time to ask Santos about Colombia’s improvement, too, especially since he recently tweeted this:

“Bogota, Colombia — spectacular clouds in the mountains and enveloping the city. I haven’t been in Colombia in a few years. Came here in earlier years, going back to the 1960s. There have been significant changes for the better, much better — especially compared to the worst of the murderous leftist revolution, drug cartel and fanatic right-wing war years in the 1980s and ’90s […] It’s a country on the move up, with massive infrastructure and social improvements. I’m here digging around on a couple of stories (with a reporting and investigative team).”

Once we get more information about when the Dan Rather interview with the Colombian President will take place, we’ll bring it to you.
