Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

The Congress of Sara brought together fewer people than usual, but despite that, the people received 140 authors and authors. According to the Erran media, the editorials and writers made numerous presentations, and the Congress awards, which are given every two years, were for Marie-José Basurko and Koldo Ameztoi.

In principle, this year’s Sara Congress was to be held on 13 and 14 April, but due to the coronavirus, it moved to September. In addition, the organizers have reduced the programme from two to one of the days of this year.
