“The journalist who loses his passion and illusion is dead”

  • «...if I’m honest I don’t know what the people, the news or the news demand»

Tell me that you are also a vocational journalist.

Journalism is not a profession, but a vocation. You've been holding him in your veins since he was created. You don't think I'm no longer a journalist when I walk through the door of the workplace, do you?

Don't tell me you're one of those 24-hour news networks!

Journalism is an ant’s work that must be done with great rigor and more discretion towards yourself. Every day you have an exam waiting for you and credibility gains from exam to exam.


Even calling being a political showcase a study...

Journalism and politics go hand in hand. The politician needs the media, and sometimes the media extends their hand too much to the politicians. It's a sin, but...

Squeeze them out. Insert the sting, the stimulus... Or you guys at the truce?

Beyond the editorial lines of all media, every journalist must strive to be as objective as possible. I am apolitical, I have never supported anyone, and I have never received pressure from anyone. Why do we see ghosts where they are not?

By mentioning ghosts, do you mean audiences?

The newscasts are also subject to the bloody war of the audiences. Do you think it's normal for Pique and Shakira to have a news headline?

Ever since I read that the most infamous enemy of free speech was unemployment...

It’s a great lesson for me to work with the students. Their adrenalines and their virgins are priceless. Why are they less likely to be married people?

Do you want us to remember the roots of the system?

The journalist whose system loses system, passion and illusion is dead.

And the newscaster who looks like the puppet of the ventriloquist?

I'm running away from Bustoparlante. With so many Bale presenters out there, don’t you think our personality and worldview makes all the difference? Gone are the times when reading a good news was valued more than communicating it!

News in the revolution? Don't tell me...

There's a tendency to break the molds. The desire for closeness and the need to reach the listener directly will transform the news programmes. Do you imagine an informative without a table?

You'd break the molds if you retired introducing the new TV!

I've learned how to travel with a small wallet. I'm trying to do it today, thinking what might happen tomorrow is tomorrow. When I’ve gone home crying with slaps, I’ve always come back with a stronger passion for defending my principles.
