______________________________

Much of 5 Magazine is only in Spanish, but it does have some English tabs and subtitled videos and it's easy enough to navigate to include in this series, I think. It's a new, multimedia site, with a page for videos - all that have been posted so far are documentaries - as well as a photo magazine that can be viewed online or downloaded. The magazine also is focused on documentary work. All of the work included is based in Colombia and created by Colombian photographers.
