Ana Rosa Quintana spoke this weekend about the political pressures facing journalism. She was honored with a Zaballos Foundation award, an accolade she described as a true privilege tied to the Defense of Constitutional Rights: I think the main aim is to sing about freedom, the constitution, and the king.
The communicator addressed the press at the event last Friday and made clear today how political information should be handled. It is challenging to report on politics with balance right now. There has never been so much pressure as during the morning program last season, the Telecinco presenter told Europa Press.
She underscored a core responsibility: to defend freedom of expression while maintaining professional integrity. The goal is to perform work honestly and without acting as the mouthpiece of any government, now or in the past, and to maintain objectivity and independence.
When asked about the specific kinds of pressure experienced, the presenter cited several examples: they raised their arms in protest and dragged her into election campaigns, her name was mentioned in Congress, and she noted that this situation was unprecedented. Journalists and judges are being cited more than ever before, and this trend stands out distinctly in her experience.
