The two new reports from MisionesOnline and Revista Códigos add direct quotes from Schuap, Mutti, Méndez and Koth not present in the original De la Tribuna TV, Primera Edición and Economis coverage, and explicitly mention an online registration link on the Pre Cosquín Misiones page. Earlier sources varied slightly on whether they called the event a workshop or capacitaciones; the new sources standardize on “taller gratuito.”
