Alexander Ramiro Villegas

A freelance multimedia journalist in Costa Rica

My name is Alexander Ramiro Villegas and I'm a freelance multimedia journalist based in Costa Rica. I specialize in investigative journalism, human interest stories and climate reporting in Latin America. 

My sentences and photographs have been been published in the New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, The Miami Herald, The Smithsonian Magazine, the CBC and the UNHCR.
From 2018 to 2019 I was the assistant managing editor of The Tico Times, Costa Rica's oldest English-language publication. I managed a small newsroom filled with talented reporters and guided the newspaper through the 2018 Nicaraguan crisis and the sexual assault allegations against former president an Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oscar Arias.
