-- Interview with Fernando Garea, assistant to the editor of El Español

PROA interview with the deputy director of El Español on the state of journalism, the new digital landscape and his recent dismissal from El Periódico de España. 

Fernando Garea (Madrid, 1962) thus returns to his origins with Pedro J. Ramírez after being dismissed from El Periódico de España barely three months after its launch. Garea began his career at Diario 16 and, together with the now editor of El Español, he was one of the founders of El Mundo, where he worked as parliamentary reporter. From there he moved to the daily Público, which he also helped to start, and to El País, which he left nine years later to join El Confidencial. In 2018, the government of Pedro Sánchez proposed him as president of the EFE news agency, a post he held until barely a year and a half later, when the same executive that had appointed him dismissed him. Garea then returned to El Confidencial, where he remained until he returned to participate in the founding of another new newspaper, this time belonging to the Moll Group, El Periódico de España.

There is hope for hope?

I never thought that the context in which I wrote about boards of directors in Spain was so critical, unexpected, sad, and with such an uncertain future. Therefore, what I am going to give here is my opinion, since with all humility I admit that I feel incapable of anticipating...
