In the twentieth century, the cultural life of Medellín has also grown to include the headquarters for major media such as El Espectador, Caracol Radio and RCN Radio, now present throughout the national territory. Illustrious writers were also born here such as Thomas Carrasquilla, Fernando González and León de Greiff, who have had their stories read all over the world.
