Jorge Lanata
ARGENTINA, 1960
Jorge Lanata is one of the most brilliant nonconformist minds in Argentinian journalism. Respected and admired for his independent thinking, he achieved massive popularity in 1983 after founding and editing Página/12, Argentina’s most critical daily paper, when democracy was being reinstated in the country after almost 10 years of military dictatorship. He is a figurehead of Argentinian journalism and a leader of the more progressive side of the local public opinion. His book Argentinos is a wonderfully fresh two volume review of Argentinian history, from the foundation of Buenos Aires up to the moment when caretaker president Duhalde took office in January 2002 after the worst economic and political crisis in the nation’s history. With his typical directness and apparent informality, Jorge Lanata rakes through Argentinian history from a fresh critical standpoint.
