56 2 | PRISA, a global group The statute states that El País rejects all pressure from individuals, political parties, and economic, religious or ideological groups seeking to make the news serve their own interests. This independen-ce, and the non-manipulation of news, safeguards the rights of readers, whose protection is the ulti-mate mission of the publisher. The editor-in-chief is responsible for the editorial line of el país, and is answerable to both readers and the judiciary, within the framework of the prin-ciples set out in the statute. To this end, he or she retains the right of veto over all originals, including advertising. Likewise, the editor-in-chief organi-zes and coordinates all the work in the newsroom. Before the Board of Directors of the publishing company appoint a new editor-in-chief for El País, the executive chairperson or CEO must submit to the Journalists’ Committee any proposed nomi-nee that may be known to him or her. If two thirds of the total census of the Journalists’ Committee oppose the nomination, by means of a written ar-gument, the Board will take this opinion into con-sideration, although it is not binding. Likewise, the appointment of deputy editors, section editors will be previously communicated to the Journalist’s Committee by the editor-in-chief. If two-thirds of the Committee are opposed the measure, this opi-nion, though not binding, is taken into account. Their opposition will be presented in writing, laying out their arguments. With regard to Media Capital, in Portugal edito-rial independence is protected by law in matters affecting the work of journalists and the news and information they produce (though not content of a different nature). Such guarantees are contem-plated in the Constitution, as well as in laws and statutes covering the different sectors (TV, press, radio), and Editorial Statutes, all controlled by a re-gulatory authority for media (ERC). It is forbidden by law for managers or board members to interfere in the editorial line or in journalistic content, these being matters reserved for the news editor, who is responsible for the guidance and supervision of journalistic content. There is no single commi-ttee, therefore, at Media Capital that specifically addresses journalistic content or news outside the scope of the news directors at TVI/radio/press. With regards to Santillana, the contents of all books published by Grupo Santillana worldwide are conditioned by the curricula set by the govern-ments or administrations of each country for each school subject. The contents offered and how they are taught in schools are key to the learning pro-cess and, therefore, are a vital part of our work. Our challenge, our duty and our aspiration should be, therefore, that of interpreting the curricula of the countries where we operate, responding with quality teaching projects that provide teachers with a range of different working methods, while presenting content across new media platforms that facilitate the digitization of education. Wherever Santillana publishes books and learning materials, there are corporate, global and national committees which meet regularly and continuous-ly, to make decisions regarding the editorial pro-cess: basic projects, publishing plans, innovative educational targets, business, sales and company strategies, and goals in the areas of creation, com-munication, innovation etc. There are editorial committees for dealing with the content to be pu-blished, as well as all aspects of a scientific, gra-phic, editorial or production nature. The corporate center coordinates the committees and ensures compliance with the rules and laws of each country Additionally, there are manuals on editorial style, setting standards for writing textbooks, that have been agreed on by the editorial team and recog-nized by teachers in the countries where Grupo Santillana operates.
