Gideon
Long

Journalist

I’m the Andean Correspondent for the Financial Times, covering Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. I’m based in the Colombian capital Bogotá, where I’ve worked for the FT since May 2017. For the previous decade, I was based in Chile, working on a freelance basis for the BBC, The Economist and other major media outlets. I started as a journalist as a graduate trainee at Reuters in 1993. During 14 years there, I worked as a correspondent in Madrid, Rome, Dublin and Santiago as well as London. In 2005 and 2006 I worked on secondment in Iraq and Lebanon, covering the aftermaths of conflicts in both countries. I’ve also worked as a sports journalist, covering four football World Cups, two Copa Americas and the Olympics Games in Sydney, Athens and Turin.
