Karmele Marchante recently opened up about the path her career has followed in the media landscape during a candid conversation with Cadena SER. In discussing her forthcoming memoir, titled I will not be silent, she shared a striking confession about her past choices, revealing a genuine sense of regret about a heartfelt plunge into journalism.
Within the memoir, Marchante explains that she wanted the professional side of her life to be laid bare. She admits she once found herself in the shadows of a misstep related to participating in certain heart-focused television programs. This moment, she says, overshadowed the broader scope of her work as a journalist, shaping how the public perceived her and potentially narrowing the public’s view of her true identity as a professional.
During the interview, Aimar Bretos pressed Marchante on this episode from the tabloids. She described it as a mistake, noting that the sensational coverage obscured her varied achievements. Rather than being remembered for a range of experiences, she felt a single character dominated public memory, eclipsing the person behind the career.
When Bretos asked about the perception surrounding Cadena SER’s announcer, Marchante clarified how she would approach her career differently if she could revisit that period. She emphasized that journalism remains her core calling and the work she loves most, underscoring that it is the field where she feels most at home and most effective.
In speaking about the broad spectrum of media involvement she has explored, Marchante highlighted a personal preference for writing. She described herself with an endearing image—a typing mouse—expressing a deep affection for the craft of composition and the written word. This confession reflects a broader appreciation for storytelling that extends beyond a single format or outlet.
