Silvia Moreno was an Ecuadorian journalist whose career in print and digital media in Ecuador addressed some of the most challenging and consequential stories in the country's recent history, including corruption, the expansion of criminal organisations, and the threats to civil liberties that have accompanied Ecuador's deteriorating security situation in the twenty-first century. She died in 2026, one of a generation of Latin American journalists whose commitment to investigative reporting carried significant personal risk.
She was born in Ecuador and pursued journalism as a professional calling in a country whose political and security environment has made independent journalism increasingly difficult and dangerous across the decades of her career.
