Ketty Garat defends investigative journalism in Puerto de Santa María
Journalist Ketty Garat delivered a lecture in Puerto de Santa María, where she reflected on her career and the challenges of investigative journalism. Garat discussed the difficulties she faced, including years of ostracism and personal attacks, following her investigations into corruption involving Ábalos.
During her presentation, Garat advocated for serious, vocational journalism as a pillar of democratic and judicial control. She emphasized that thorough investigative work is essential and argued that private media can provide a robust public service due to their relative resistance to government pressure. She also encouraged the public to support responsible news outlets through paid subscriptions to ensure the sustainability of high-quality reporting.
