Reporters Maruja Torres (Barcelona, 1943) and Mónica García Prieto (Badajoz, 1974) discuss journalism, feminism and social transformation in a conversation published by Revista 5W as part of its collection ‘Voces de libros-diálogo’ [Book voices-dialogue] in 2017.
Mónica García Prieto defines Maruja Torres as the model of a ground-breaking woman, an independent and outspoken professional, utterly unconventional in a male-dominated world. Torres, for her part, says that Prieto is the quintessential reporter that she herself would have liked to have been: a journalist specialising in international conflicts who has watched history unfold before her eyes.
The two women recall their early articles, take a historic look at the Arab world, and talk about the changes in the press, sexism in the newsroom and their passion for telling the world’s story and wanting to know more.
Based on these interviews, we created a production with two actors who ask us: What is the journalist’s pact with the public? And the media’s responsibility? Is information becoming trivialised? Maruja Torres and Mónica García Prieto explore these issues in depth with a critical and honest perspective in a conversation with moments of humour, anger and hope.
