Award winners together with Lucas Díaz, Aqualia’s Director for Spain, during the prize-giving ceremony. The awards for the 8th Aqualia Journalism Prize highlight the management of all the phases of the water cycle The eighth edition of the Aqualia Journalism Awards recognised the work of three journalists in the categories of written press, radio and television, whose awards were presented at an event held on 28 May at the headquarters of the Madrid Press Association (APM). In the first category, Ana Pobes, a journalist with La Tribuna de Ciudad Real, received the award for a series of three reports entitled “La autovía del agua” (The Water Highway). The journalist received the award from Lucas Díaz, Aqualia’s Spanish Director. In its decision, the jury valued “the contextualisation of the water problem in the La Mancha plain by the author and the message that can be extracted from the article”. The winning work selected in the television category was the report “Recovering the mud”, written by Mercedes Ros for the programme “In depth”, by Castilla La Mancha Media (CMM Noticias). Miguel Ángel Noceda, president of the Federation of Spanish Journalists’ Associations (FAPE), presented the prize, awarded by the jury for its “explanation of the circular economy in water through an understandable, impartial and close approach”. The prize in the radio category went to the work “Will we drink reclaimed water?”, a radio piece by Javier Bolaños broadcast for the first time on his programme ‘Cambio climático’, on Canal Sur Radio. María García, president of the Association of Environmental Information Journalists (APIA) presented the corresponding award. In this case, the jury valued the fact that this work “teaches the public, in an ingenious and dynamic way, the processes of water regeneration, the possibilities of this resource and the truths and myths surrounding its use”. With these awards, Aqualia recognises the journalistic work that reflects the importance of the management of the complete water cycle in the daily lives of the citizens of Spain and Colombia, countries where Aqualia provides services. 26 P PEOPLE
