Death of Argentine journalist Chiche Gelblung

Overview

Argentine journalist, writer, and television presenter Samuel ‘Chiche’ Gelblung has died at the age of 82. Gelblung, who rose to prominence through a career spanning print journalism and television, was known for a confrontational interviewing style and a distinctive visual brand involving vintage attire.

Following his death due to severe respiratory complications at Sanatorio Los Arcos, journalist Jorge Rial criticized the public narrative surrounding Gelblung’s final days. While many colleagues honored his dedication to his craft, Rial argued against the romanticization of Gelblung’s work ethic, suggesting he worked out of financial necessity. Rial stated, ‘He died working because he needed the money. He had to leave the clinic and run to the studio because he lived day to day.’
