La ética periodística ha muerto.

Acabo de ver una entrevista con un niño sobre el accidente náutico en el que murió la nieta de Cris Morena. Cómo pueden entrevistar a un niño luego de un evento traumático? No hay legislación que regule este comportamiento de los medios?! #crismorena #yankelevich #media #miami #sailing #accident

Hello! I think some are, like Zendaya, but largely I think they are merely tangled in the marketing web of luxury conglomerates.

With the #oscars rapidly approaching, I was interviewed by The Independent about the staging of the Costume Design category at the show. A big thanks to Lydia Spencer-Elliot. Read more in the link! #scholarship #academyawards #academicinsights #history #informedjournalism #costumedesign

Black Market Babies (Full Episode) | Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller | National Geographic YouTube video by National Geographic

I watched this episode of Trafficked that puts on the spotlight the dark side of an industry that remains taboo due to those privileged benefitting from surrogacy. Women exploitation should not exist in any form. A debate worth having. m.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ5V...

Te juro que ayer tuve la palabra “atrevida” toda la tarde viniéndome a la cabeza por algo que alguien me dijo/hizo. La más apropiada.
