118 Sustainability at PRISA Ortega y Gasset Awards for Journalism Created 32 years ago by the newspaper El País, these awards are named after the Spanish philosopher and journalist José Ortega y Gasset. The prizes honour journalistic work published in Spanish worldwide. At a time uncertainty for the profession, as the industry undergoes technological transformation and as the changes ushered in shake up old structures, this event serves to vindicate the freest and most courageous journalism. A journalism that looks to the future, and that seeks to rise to the biggest challenges the world has known for decades. At its 32nd edition, the awards went to Pedro Simón and Alberto di Lolli for their series of reports, La España del despilfarro (Squandering in Spain) published in El Mundo, for their novel approach of a recurring theme; Gerardo Reyes won the digital journalism prize for his special report Los nuevos narcotesoros (The New Narco Treasurers) on mining mafias in Latin America, and which was published on the website of Univision; and José Palazón was honored for his photograph of the Melilla border fence that shows a number immigrants trying to scale the fence while, on the Spanish side, golfers enjoy a round. The prize for a Lifetime Dedicated to Journalism went to Teodoro Petkoff, a symbol of democratic resistance in journalism in Venezuela and founder of the newspaper Tal Cual, a publication that has become the standard bearer for news and freedom of expression. The jury was formed by Carles Francino, director of La Cadena Ser’s La Ventana, Félix de Azúa, writer; Carmen Iglesias, director of the Royal Academy of History; Ainhoa Grandes, director of the MACBA Foundation; Juan Luis Cebrián, executive chair of El País; Javier Moreno, editorial director of PRISA, and Antonio Caño, editor-in-chief of El País. Pedro Zuazua, communications director of PRISA Noticias, acted as jury secretary without a vote.
