The attendance of the royals at the ABC Awards is not new. However, their involvement in the ceremony as those personally presenting the awards reinforces the importance of this annual gathering.

The presence of Queen Letizia at events like this is neither accidental nor symbolic. As a communication professional, her active participation in presenting the awards represents concrete and visible support for the work of the media. This is a gesture that professionals in the sector deeply value in times of polarization and misinformation.

The fact that she is the one presenting these awards, together with King Felipe, highlights the modern and participatory approach that the monarchy has sought to instill. Casa Real, with this decision, sends a clear message: rigorous and ethical journalism remains a good that must be protected.

The prestigious ABC newspaper's journalism awards bring together, year after year, prominent names from the information landscape. The 105th edition of these awards pays tribute to three key figures in their respective fields: Jorge Fernández Díaz, Carlos Alsina, and Txema Rodríguez.

Jorge Fernández Díaz has been awarded the Mariano de Cavia Prize for his article "Bienvenidos al populismo de derecha," published in La Nación. The jury valued his ability to analyze contemporary political phenomena in depth from a critical, sharp, and well-documented perspective.

Meanwhile, journalist Carlos Alsina will receive the Luca de Tena Prize in recognition of his distinguished career as a radio communicator. As director of the morning program Más de uno on Onda Cero, Alsina has shown exceptional versatility ranging from political dissemination to radio fiction.

Photography will also have a place in the ceremony thanks to the Mingote Prize, which this year has been awarded to Txema Rodríguez for an image published in Las Provincias. According to the jury, this snapshot captures with sensitivity and technique a scene that reflects the social contradictions of the present.

The presentation of the ABC newspaper's journalism awards by Queen Letizia and King Felipe highlights institutional support for a free press. Casa Real strengthens its role as a guarantor of democratic values, giving visibility to the work of exceptional professionals. Will this be a new starting point for a monarchy even more connected with society?
