MOSCOW, DECEMBER 6, 2024 — RT Spanish has won three awards from the Mexican Press Club. The award ceremony took place at the organization’s headquarters in Mexico.
One of the Mexican Press Club awards went to the RT Reporta documentary program. RT Spanish reporter Helena Villar went to the Puerto Rican island of Vieques, which had served for decades as a US Navy base.
Another award went to RT correspondent Camila Lozano Delgado for her interview with a senior representative of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia’s general staff, in which she explores the reasons preventing a long-lasting peace in this country.
The third Mexican Press Club award went to RT’s Erick Fonseca Zarate for his program La Lista de Erick Fonseca, dedicated to chasing the northern lights in Murmansk, Russia.
RT has previously won multiple awards at the National and International Journalism Contest held by the Mexican Press Club. A year ago, one of the awards went to the analytical program Ahí les va’, which covered the scandal around an SS Galicia Division veteran being honored in the Canadian parliament. Another award went to a documentary that focused on Tijuana, a Mexican border city that has in recent years become home to a lot of American expatriates.
In 2022, RT Spanish correspondents Boris Kuznetsov, Semyon Senderov and Mauricio Ampuero won a Mexican Press Club award for their coverage of the special military operation in Ukraine. An RT Reporta documentary on human trafficking in Florida, USA also received an award.
Over the years, RT has received the Mexican Press Club awards “For growth in multimedia and diversity in content of high social value” and “For contribution to the diversity of points of view,” among others. Additionally, RT Spanish has won the Best TV Channel award twice to date.
The Mexican Press Club’s Prize was established in 1952. Every year, a professional jury comprised of club members acknowledges prominent achievements by media organizations around the world.
