IPYS Award – Written report

In memory of George

The departure of our friend and colleague Jorge Saldaña Ramírez hurts us, but the memory of the countless journalistic days shared with who was the best parliamentary chronicler of the written press in recent years remains in our hearts and minds. By virtue of this, from Perú21 we propose that the Institute of Press and Society (IPYS) distinguish with his name the prize that the institution gives annually to the best work in the Written Reportage category.

The journalist Jorge Saldaña stood out for his innumerable coverage of the activities of the Congress

The ‘Child’ Doroteo

The recently sentenced congressman for Popular Action, Raúl Doroteo, said that he is proud to be accused of being a member of the so-called ‘Los Niños’ group that, according to the Public Ministry, would have put himself at the service of Pedro Castillo in exchange for a series of benefits in contracts and works of the Ministry of Transport.

Better that she dedicate herself to attending to the matters in her portfolio that she has enough to correct.
