The TT – A Training Ground
The Tico Times started life as a training ground for aspiring journalists, and it has played that role ever since. Countless young newspeople got their start at the TT, going on to make names for themselves in the Big World, and the paper’s flourishing internship program continues to draw bright beginners (as well as experienced journalists in search of a sabbatical), giving them the chance to cover a whole country – and often, other countries in the region – in a fascinating part of the world.
