A highland capital whose bench is dominated by the television, diplomatic, and legal class of a city that has always run Colombia. Bogotá's distinctive professions are models, diplomats, actors, sport figures, journalists, lawyers, film workers, and writers — the profile of a capital that exports telenovela leads and news anchors at densities rare outside Caracas. García Márquez defined its literary self-image from afar, and the modern half of the bench runs through the RCN and Caracol generation that came up in the 1990s.
