El periodismo

Pau and I attended a journalism workshop entitled "Claves para hacer buen periodismo," at la UCA today. The event was great as it was essentially the verbal musings of Miguel Angel Bastenier, a famous Spanish journalist who worked for El Pais and just so happens to be as hilarious as he is wise.

Some memorable quotes:

"Yo soy de papel y nunca seré de otra materia prima"

"Yo cuando oigo periodismo literario echo mano al revolver"

On investigative and data-driven journalism: "Ese es el único periodismo que queda, lo demás es mandanga"
