In an increasingly challenging media environment, where immediacy, misinformation, and economic constraints test the sustainability of digital journalism, The Costa Rica News (TCRN) reaches a significant milestone: its 17th anniversary.

This achievement not only marks the passage of time, but also represents the perseverance, resilience, and commitment of a media outlet that has managed to stand firm in the face of countless difficulties.
Behind these 17 years of uninterrupted work is a team that deserves special recognition. TCRN’s collaborators and employees have shown courage, dedication, and a deep passion for reporting, often facing technical, financial, and logistical obstacles.

His daily dedication has been key to sustaining a project that was born with big dreams and, thanks to that collective effort, today remains a benchmark for Costa Rican digital journalism with international reach.

A fundamental role in this story is played by CEO and founder Daniel Yépez, whose keen eye and strategic vision have guided the organization’s course since its inception.

His ability to anticipate trends, adapt to changes in the digital ecosystem, and commit to independent journalism has been decisive in ensuring that TCRN not only survives but evolves.
Yépez has been able to see opportunities where others saw limitations, consolidating a media outlet that connects Costa Rica with the world.
Throughout these 17 years, The Costa Rica News has also fulfilled an invaluable mission: to showcase the beauty of Costa Rica, a country that captivates with just one glance.
Its lush landscapes, unique biodiversity, culture, and people have been constant features in its publications, projecting the image of a nation that inspires, attracts, and captivates.
TCRN not only informs; it also invites you to discover a country that feels alive in every story, and that is undoubtedly Pura Vida!
Celebrating this anniversary is celebrating perseverance, vision, and love for Costa Rica. May these 17 years be just the beginning of many more telling stories, overcoming challenges, and showing the world why this small but great country leaves a mark on everyone who gets to know it.
