The Spanish news agency EFE ranks amongst the world’s five largest international news agencies. She then spent five years in Panama in charge of the business section of La Prensa, the Panamanian newspaper of record. Miren led a team of specialised journalists and editors; she trained reporters and wrote, coordinated or edited investigative business stories. Several of these stories were award-winners and had national as well as international impact. A year of free-lancing in New York followed, writing for different media, such as El País, The Nation, UPI, Gatopardo and Offshore Alert (a Miami-based financial bulletin focused on money laundering). She covered the Sep. 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and their aftermath for El País, Spain’s main daily. Miren worked as a consultant for the Media Development Loan Fund, as a researcher for Transparency International, and as a journalist for Televisión Española and El Mundo. She holds a Masters of Arts and a Masters Degree in Journalism, and a degree in Musicology. She joined IPS as editor-in-chief in January 2003. |
