Jorge_Barraza
Jorge Barraza (born 4 April 1955) is an Argentine journalist, book author, and former chief editor of Magazine Conmebol, the official publication of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL). He is a columnist and reporter for several leading Latin American newspapers—including Peru's El Comercio, Ecuador's El Universo, Colombia's El Tiempo—and newspapers of less circulation—including Costa Rica's La Nación and Bolivia's La Razón.[1] Barraza also used to serve as a journalist for Argentine newspaper Crónica and the sports journal El Gráfico,[2] which is considered one of Latin America's most prestigious sports publications.
About his work as a journalist, Barraza comments: "My motto is truth and ethics above everything. Later, well, a series of condiments, thinking about the people, about my convictions, my love for this beautiful profession. And the desire to learn a little more each day to enrich myself" (in Spanish: "Mi lema es la verdad y la ética por delante de todo. Y luego, bueno, una serie de condimentos, pensar en la gente, en mis convicciones, el amor por esta profesión tan hermosa. Y querer aprender un poquito más cada día para enriquecerme.").[3]
