Foreign journalists, pay attention to: Moncloa wants to give you money for speaking well about Spain
- The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has created the Palacio de Viana Journalism Award for foreign journalists who give a positive image about the Spanish State. The violence used against the referendum of October 1 in Catalonia greatly affected the image of Rajoy’s executive in the international media and seems to be a movement to fight it.
The foreign journalist who contributes the most to spreading the “good name” of Spain will receive 12,000 euros. Another 12,000 will be pocketed by the writer of the “best article” on Spain’s foreign policy in the written press. And another 12,000 will be devoted to the introduction of radio or television programmes of the same concept.
The awards have quickly received strong criticism, including the article by Graham Keeley in the British newspaper The Times. Keeley is, in fact, the correspondent of this newspaper in Madrid and has clearly expressed his position: “Spain will not improve its image by donating money to journalists” is the title of the article published on Wednesday.
Keeley explains that journalists like to win awards: “They massage our weak egos.” But in this case, a self-respecting correspondent has declared that it is a prize that he would not want to win, even if the economic amount is not a joke.
