Digan la verdad

We live in a time of profound crisis of credibility. In the malaise and instability of our societies lies a great distrust towards institutions, intellectuals, decision makers or opinion leaders. The traditional press, shaken by intense technological change and disintermediation in news production, is also suffering from public suspicion, not always unjustifiably. Tell the truth wonders how complacency with power or activist journalism, which forgets the commitment to truthfulness in favor of a cause, are contributing to the discredit of the profession and political polarization. From his beginnings as a reporter for Agencia Efe to the direction of El País, Antonio Caño travels through four decades of profession in America, Africa or the Middle East, meeting dictators, wars and determining episodes of recent history. Regarding Spain, the enthusiastic journalism of the Transition, the so-called "culture of El País", his departure from the Prisa newspaper, the alleged conspiracies, the ideological controversies or the relationship with politicians star in the pages of a sober and honest book.
