As a journalist he worked at Cromos, and Jet Set; as a columnist, he wrote columns for El Tiempo, and from 2008 to 2020, he wrote at Semana, turning it into a controversial, subject for debate in the media.[2] Though a recognized columnist in Colombia, Samper Ospina hardly engages in serious political analysis; rather, he is a satirical commentator whose main objective is to deprecate politicians (mostly of conservative convictions) under the umbrella of satire and black humor.
