Marcos García Rey, Spain, is an award-winning investigative reporter and journalism lecturer.
Since 2010, he has participated in more than 20 cross-border investigations, 13 of them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, including the Pulitzer Prize-awarded Panama Papers.
In 2000, he became editor of the International News Service in Arabic for news agency EFE. From March 2017 to April 2020, García Rey was the editor of the investigative desk at El Confidencial.
In 2012, he co-founded the first-ever master's degree in investigative reporting, data journalism and visualization in Spanish. He was its academic coordinator from 2012 to 2017.
García Rey has co-authored several books, including “Vidas Rotas” (2010), an acclaimed work on the Basque terrorist organization ETA. He has also published several books of poems.
There is no watchdog culture in Spanish newsrooms, nor even a Freedom of Information Act. Now a group of journalists will train a new generation to investigate corruption.
