Media Experience & Public Engagement

Before fully transitioning to my scholarly career, I worked as a professional journalist across various print and broadcast media outlets from 1985 to 1992. This firsthand newsroom experience deeply informs my current academic research and teaching.

• Broadcast Journalism (Radio): Worked as a reporter, producer, and speaker for the Spanish National Broadcasting Service (RNE/Radiocadena Española), Radio Popular-Herri Irratia, and the Basque Broadcasting Service (Radio Vitoria/EiTB).
• Print Journalism (Newspapers): Served as a reporter and photographer for La Gaceta del Norte, and contributed to regional daily newspapers such as Deia and Gaur Express.

🎙️ Current Collaborations & Public Commentaries

I remain actively connected to public media and debate:

• Radio Commentary: I regularly collaborate as an op-ed analyst for the Basque public broadcasting service (EiTB/Euskadi Irratia), participating in morning news analysis on the Faktoria program.
• Press Op-Eds: I occasionally publish opinion pieces addressing tech regulations, digital divides, and artificial intelligence in major national newspapers like El País, La Vanguardia, El Periódico de Catalunya, and El Confidencial.
