  When Brian Andrews first stepped foot in Colombia, he felt that he had walked on to the set of a major motion picture in a remote corner of world with the standard issue cast of good cops fighting bad guys.All of this surrounded by lush rainforests and Black Hawk choppers swirling overhead. It was 2002 and Andrews, a South Floridian journalist with New York roots, was working out of Miami for Fox news Channel 7.The trip to Colombia for this television reporter was part of a routine press invitation in order to witness the destruction of coca laboratories on the Pacific coast.But what Brian didn't realize was that Colombia would somehow change his life."I was really moved," says the thirty-six year old from his desk in the RCN network newsroom."Here I am in this country and I just loved the people.They have such passion and are happy to be alive." Since that first assignment in Tumaco, Colombia gradually became an an obsession for Andrews.He found ways of traveling to the country more regularly and looked - like many journalists do- into covering bigger stories here.Having made several friends in the Colombian media, Brian started networking and reading up on the country."Everything in my life was Colombia," he recalls."Everything I ever talked about was here."But it wasn't until last year that the Colombian ‘dream' materialized and the wheels were set in motion for this journalist to leave a comfortable life in Miami for the challenges of Bogotá.And life, like a movie, isn't always a love story."It wasn't a stereotype of the Gringo falling in love with a beautiful Colombian girl," claims Brian."I just fell in love with the way I felt."Accustomed to being on the road and flying half way around the world to cover breaking news in places such as Ramala on the West Bank and natural disasters such as hurricane Katrina and the Tsunami, Brian saw Colombia as "God's subtle way of saying ‘change your life.'" Stressed out and over- worked, Brian didn't need a lot of convincing while searching for the change in his life, although a good movie on Avianca always helped.While watching Heaven Almighty on a routine flight between Bogotá and Miami, Brian knew it was time to take the plunge."I knew at that moment that I was coming to Colombia."After not being able to persuade his bosses in Miami at CBS to open a bureau in Bogotá, Brian handed over his letter of resignation, sold his house and announced his move to Colombia as a freelancer.However, freelancing has its drawbacks."You don't eat," says Brian as his story unfolds.And what this reporter really wanted was to be in control of the news and directing it.To show Colombia in a positive light and not rewriting copy from the wire services and pitching stories about violence and corruption scandals. After knocking on the doors of Caracol TV and RCN, - the country's two large networks - Brian chose the the latter."They seized the moment,"says Brian, regarding the receptivity of RCN to launch an English-language news program.
  
  RCN launched News in English in April and Brian is the brains and soul of the program.With two daily news casts, he gathers a sampling of the day's top stories making headlines in the country and presents them in a concise and professional manner."This is going to change Colombia for the world," believes Brian regarding the feedback he has already received by an international audience eager to tune in on News in English. With an average of 3,000 hits a day and fan mail coming in from all over, Brian is convinced that the program is going to ‘make it big'.Seen in over 54 countries News in English is part of an ambitious media venture in order to help change some of the perceptions of Colombia."The world is seeing Colombia through my eyes," claims the journalist."This is my dream."As Colombia turns a new page with a growing economy open for business and foreign investment, Brian believes that his program has unlimited potential.Bilingualism - already an important benchmark for the society - is also attracting a more domestic audience to his online program.Colombia - for Brian- can be summed in a one word, "hot." Despite the language difficulties facing this foreign journalist in his new working environment, Brian has been impressed by the professionalism of his coworkers and the RCN team.With a brand new news room facility for online editing and servers, Brain feels at home surrounded by state-of-the art equipment and having the freedom to dictate news in his own language. "The quality of television in Colombia is ten times better than what we had in the major markets in Miami, New York or Los Angeles," says Andrews, when referring to the human talent in journalism."In the US it's all about a paycheck.Here, people love their jobs." Changing one's life is never easy, but Brian took a gamble on his and it seems to be paying off.As he wanders the halls of RCN, there is a permanent smile on his face which transmits the most genuine of emotions.He is a man in love.In love with the media and the message.Brian Andrews can be seen everyday online at www.canalrcn.com.co/newsinenglish
