The Federation of Associations of Journalists of Spain (FAPE) has announced the creation of the First Aurelio Martín Prize for Journalistic Ethics, a recognition intended to honor the memory of the renowned Segovian journalist. This award seeks to promote and value ethical principles in the practice of journalism, a profession that faces constant challenges in the era of digital information.
The prize, with an endowment of 8,000 euros, will be awarded to journalistic works that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to ethics and professional integrity. The initiative highlights the importance of maintaining high ethical standards in a context where fake news and disinformation are growing concerns.
Aurelio Martín, in whose honor the recognition was established, was a prominent figure in the field of journalism. During his career, he was characterized by his dedication to truth and to deontological ethics, becoming a reference for many professionals in the field of communication.
The FAPE, through this award, reaffirms its commitment to promoting responsible and high-quality journalism. The call for submissions is now open, and it is hoped that it will encourage journalists from all over the country to submit pieces that reflect the values that Aurelio Martín defended throughout his career.
The announcement of this award has been welcomed with enthusiasm in the journalism community, which sees in it an opportunity to highlight best practices at a critical moment for the sector. Se espera que el premio contribuya a fortalecer el papel esencial del periodismo como guardián de la verdad y la democracia.
