EL PAÍS has announced the winners of a special edition of the 2026 Ortega y Gasset Journalism Awards to mark its 50th anniversary. The recipients are Belarusian Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich, Nicaraguan writer Sergio Ramírez, and US editor Martin Baron. The ceremony will take place in Barcelona on May 4.
In a tribune published in Le Monde, Laure Darcos and Nathalie Loiseau, leaders from Horizons, denounce the bad faith in debates over media labeling and attacks on public broadcasting. They emphasize that in the digital age, safeguarding verified information is vital against the rapid spread of fake news. They back an independent certification to identify reliable media without state interference.
