Marta Carazo arrives in Torrespaña to lead the second edition of Telediario after Carlos Franganillo’s departure. In a press conference held this Wednesday, she called the new phase a big, unpredictable, and welcome challenge, approached with evident enthusiasm. “I enjoy taking on new things because every experience teaches you something, and this is a wonderful opportunity. Nothing is easy, but it’s exciting.”
As the new Telediario presenter, Carazo aims to shape the program’s style with a simple philosophy: “Be natural; there isn’t another way to convey information. You have to explain things clearly and naturally, and you must understand them thoroughly. Being able to explain them comfortably is how I feel, and it seems to work.”
Carazo also underscored the importance of teamwork: “This is a job for many people. I feel supported, and the aim is to keep steering this project forward while building on the good work already done.”
RTVE’s news director, Joseph Vilar, remarked that a strong news presenter must combine authority, credibility, and professionalism. He praised the RTVE News team as a unit that earns the audience’s trust and remains fully credible. He added that even with a large staff involved, the core goal is to deliver honest reporting. “It’s a role that many contribute to, and it’s the best summer in the country. We must confront challenges every day because nothing is easy, but we are on the right track.”
Marta Carazo’s career
Marta Carazo, born in Madrid in 1973, has served as a Brussels correspondent since August 2020. During this period she reported on Brexit, the EU vaccine rollout, and the reactions to the war in Ukraine. She conducted interviews with senior EU leadership, including the NATO Secretary General, the top European diplomat, the President of the European Parliament, and the President of the Council.
For her coverage, the new 9 p.m. Telediario presenter received the Salvador de Madariaga European Journalism Award for the television category last year. The award, presented by the Union of European Journalists, the European Commission Representation in Spain, and the Madrid Office of the European Parliament, recognized her ability to translate EU information for television, not just by reporting decisions but by giving a voice to those most affected. The jury noted her distinctive approach to presenting European issues on screen.
Carazo studied journalism at the Complutense University of Madrid. She began her professional career with Europa Press Television, Efe TV, and Telemadrid. Her first role at RTVE started in 1999 as a news anchor on Kanal 24 Horas, where she stayed until 2007, and as director and presenter of programs such as Casade América and A Fondo from 2006 to 2009. In 2009 she joined Telediario to cover the Royal Household. She later shifted to the economics beat in 2012 and led responsibilities in 2018-2019. She also served as presenter and co-director of the Europe 2020 program (2019-2020) and joined the Telediario 1 edition in 2020.
Her career reflects a steady rise through national and European news coverage, combining on-the-ground reporting with strategic program leadership. Carazo’s work in Brussels further established her as a seasoned journalist capable of translating complex European policy into clear, engaging television for a broad audience. Her trajectory demonstrates a commitment to journalistic integrity, audience trust, and informative storytelling, values that are central to RTVE’s news division. (Source: RTVE)
