This Wednesday, the finalists of the Rikardo Arrangi Journalism and Communication Awards will be released at the Bastero Cultural Center in Andoain.

Among the journalism finalists is June Fernández, for a written report in ARGIA: Adolescents and sex education: The problem is porn? The jury explained that although this is a topic that generates "discomfort" in the public debate, the journalist has turned it into an argument for analysis, a "raw" article, with interlocutors. He also stressed that the graphic images with which the report was made "also deserve a special mention".

The book Juana de Jon Artano Izeta is another candidate in the journalistic field; the series of interviews “Feminizketak” written by Maite Asensio, Amaia Igartua and Isabel Jaurena in the journal Berria; and the juvenile media Bada in the French Basque Country.

Furthermore, the Communication Awards will also be announced at Andoain. Candidates are as follows: Project of the Cultural Association Wikilarien Euskal Wikilarien Kultura Elkartea “Ikusgela”; podcast by Berria “Ezer ez eta festa”; videopodkasta by EITB “Ez hain ondo”; and podkasta “Flop kultura” by Euskalerria Irratia.

Each prize winner will receive €9,000. On the other hand, journalist Ana Galarraga Aiestaran will receive at the beginning of the gala the Mugarria de Honor de la Juventud Award.
