The director of EL PAÍS receives the Pedro Antonio de Alarcón National Journalism Award for her professional career in Guadix


Pepa Bueno, director of EL PAÍS, defended this Friday in Guadix (Granada) professional journalism, that of "going, seeing, asking, listening, contrasting, confirming and writing or speaking", a protocol that requires "training and rules that only journalists can make.”

Bueno made these statements at a ceremony in which she was awarded the Pedro Antonio de Alarcón National Journalism Award, which a jury of journalists from Granada awarded her last November for her long professional career.

The director of EL PAÍS recalled that awards like this are a magnificent opportunity to reflect on the journalistic profession.

"Something that journalists usually have little time to do," she said.

The Pedro Antonio de Alarcón National Journalism Award, and the City of Guadix National Journalism Awards, which were also awarded at the same event, have reached their 19th edition with this, which has served Bueno to remind us that longevity means that These awards have survived the different corporations and political parties, a gesture "of great democratic health."

The journalist has said that the journalistic profession is "a wonderful profession that at this moment in history is on a target that many insist on discrediting and distrusting".

The director of EL PAÍS has insisted that "although real information, memes, jokes or misinformation circulate through the same channels, journalism is what journalists do."

Bueno has stated that "the local press is essential for democracy because many of the risks that plague democracy have to do with the disappearance of many local media."

And he has continued: “Readers, listeners and viewers ask us journalists for a more horizontal relationship and that happens by showing how we work”.

At the award ceremony, the mayor of Guadix, Jesús Lorente, congratulated the winners "for a job that is not easy, that has been a hard time and that is responsible for bringing the reality of things to the public so that Make your own judgement."
