Working for VerificaRTVE, the team tasked with debunking disinformation, hoaxes and conspiracy theories at RTVE Spanish public broadcasting corporation. PhD in Journalism with a dissertation focused on Spanish war correspondents kidnapped in conflict zones, I am also in charge of training journalists in digital verification and OSINT techniques. I enjoy working in joint investigations with other European colleagues in the framework of the EBU Investigative Journalism Network and Spotlight, the new international alliance recently created to fight disinformation. Together we are stronger.
