The best Chilean journalism 2016

Since 2003, the School of Journalism at Universidad Alberto Hurtado, through the Premio Periodismo de Excelencia (Excellence in Journalism Award), has recognized the best texts published in national print media during a given year. With the input and debate of an independent and diverse jury, composed of journalists and academics with distinguished careers, the aim is to acknowledge and encourage professional practice that upholds the highest ethical, investigative, and writing standards. The works included in this book reflect the events that impacted 2016, such as the cases of Érika Olivera, María Kodama, the detained woman who gave birth in shackles, Piñera's businesses in Peru, Manuel Contreras's son, the AFP (Pension Fund Administrators), the Panama Papers, among many other events that highlight a year tumultuous with news stories.
