Clara Inés Rueda Memorial Talk
Journalism in Latin America: Writing the Rules of the Game
Pablo Rosendo González
Clara Inés Rueda was a John S. Knight Professional Journalism Fellow at Stanford University during the 2000-01 academic year. During her year at Stanford, she studied business, economics and management, in order to improve her work as a business and economic journalist. When she won the Knight Fellowship she was managing editor at Gerente magazine; when she returned to Colombia after her year of study she worked briefly for Stratcom Latin America before rejoining El Tiempo as economic and business editor. A policeman at a highway checkpoint outside Bogotá killed Rueda in April 2003 in April 2003 in what is still a murky incident. Her colleagues in that Knight Fellowship class, along with her family, devised a memorial talk as a way to honor Clara Inés' memory - a talk about the responsibility of the journalist, given by the 2003-04 Knight Latin American fellow, Pablo Rosendo González. González, of Buenos Aires, Argentina, started his career in journalism in 1991 as a writer at Córdoba newspaper, then moved to Buenos Aires to work as a magazine writer for Somos. Since September 1993, he has worked as an editor for two newspapers - Página/Doce and Perfil - and the magazine Tres Puntos. He was also a correspondent for two Brazilian newspapers - Jornal do Brasil and O Dia, both in Rio - and a freelancer for two others in the Brazilian media, Valor and Veja, both in Sao Paulo. Currently, he is editor of special projects in an Argentine multimedia company, Capital Intelectual S.A., and has written a book about the fall of the Argentine economy, which is awaiting publication. |
