In the first decades of the 20th century, the journalistic work in the city of Quibdó was carried out by a small white group, called the Chocoan elite. This group was composed of politicians, merchants and writers, who presented in the Chocoan press, mainly in the newspaper A.B.C, a series of social speeches. Although the Chocó has been considered as a black region, those early speeches were characterized by a silence regarding racial issues, but with an emphasis on the riches and development of the region. These discourses did not express a reflection of what we now call racial issues, but they had the interest of exposing the Chocó as a region of progress, similar to other white regions of the country, such as Antioch. However, from the 1930's and until the creation of the department of Chocó in 1947, a change in the speech is seen in the press as it begins to talk about issues about race and the black, and a change in the Actors, since the new writers of this time would no longer be that small white ruling elite, but black politicians like Diego Luis Cordoba. These changes were significant because they lived together in a context where racism prevailed, but these new discourses failed to enhance the value of black issues.
