The best Chilean journalism 2020
Excellence in Journalism Award

This book is a reflection of these tumultuous and fascinating times. New characters emerged, profiled, interviewed, denounced, and celebrated within these pages: the fed-up middle class, social movements (women, indigenous people, retirees without pensions, the sick without hospitals, unemployed workers, homeless families, immigrants without a future). Healthcare and education workers, looked down upon by financial billionaires, have now become the essential ones.

The journalism that shines in these pages not only bravely tells and explains the truth. It helps us form new generations of a public eager to know, understand, and participate with full knowledge.

What will a future historian be able to find in this book about journalism from this year, which began in the midst of an outburst, continued with an unexpected pandemic, and ended with a hopeful referendum to change the constitution and dream of a new country?

Many events—so many painful, unjust, and reprehensible ones—happened in 2020. But, with limitations and difficulties unimaginable a few months prior, the fellowship of word professionals was able to produce excellent journalism.
