As in previous years, I was invited to teach at University of Navarra as Guest Professor last month. As part of the International Media Programme, I spoke about the crisis in the media sector, the coverage of the war in Iraq, propaganda and gender. The International Media Programme is part of a one academic year in universities in Europe, North America or Asia. The IMP, the first qualification of its kind in Spain, is awarded by the School of Communication at the University of Navarra; its purpose is to provide graduates with an international profile in the communications sector.

- About the author
Since January 2011, I am Greenpeace Spain's Executive Director. From 1990 until 1996, I was based in Hong Kong as an EFE correspondent, covering the South East Asia, Korea and Pacific region, in charge of a group of contributors. I then spent five years in Panama in charge of the business section of La Prensa, the Panamanian newspaper of record. I coordinated or edited investigative business stories, some of them with environmental links. Several of these stories were award-winners. A year of free-lancing in New York followed, writing for different media, such as El País, The Nation, UPI, Gatopardo and Offshore Alert. I covered the Sep. 11 attacks for El País. I joined IPS --a news agency dedicated to the envirronment, human rights and global issues-- as Editor in chief in January 2003. I published my first novel in 2007.
