The journalist and ABC collaborator José F. Peláez has won the fifth edition of the David Gistau Journalism Award, which was awarded today. The award, created jointly by Vocento and Unidad Editorial, highlights the literary quality and informative value of opinion pieces and pays tribute to the career of David Gistau.
José F. Peláez has received the award for his article ‘A progress of closeness’, published in ABC on November 19, 2023. The jury considers that “the article captures a social trend from humor, renews the classic view of Spanish columnism and uses perplexity and self-parody as tools to connect with his readers.
In this fifth edition of the award, endowed with 10,000 euros and sponsored by the ACS Foundation and Santander, nearly 200 collaborations or journalistic opinion pieces published or broadcast in the printed press, ‘online’, radio or television, among on July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024, and in Spanish.
