Pablo PARDO NAREDO

El Mundo

Correspondent for the newspaper El Mundo in Washington

I am a bilingual award-winning journalist and consultant with a passion for understanding and explaining the world we live in.

For more than 25 years, I have been covering and analyzing cutting-edge trends at the intersection of international politics and markets in Europe, the U.S., Latin America, and the rest of the world. From Davos to the White House Press Room, from G20 Summits to the Democratic and Republican Conventions, and from the Texas desert to Fort McMurray in Alberta (Canada), I have focused on the big issues that define today’s global political and economic landscape.

I have also gone beyond journalism, writing in-depth business intelligence and political risk reports for global financial institutions, leading energy companies, and major consulting firms (as long as there are no conflicts of interest with my work for El Mundo). My network of contacts has played a critical role in that activity, which I find intellectually very stimulating.

My work has made me wonder how media and other organizations with a relevant socio-political role (such as think tanks) influence public opinion. I delved into this topic through a Ph.D. in Communications with a dissertation on agenda-setting — this is, how the news permeates society and influences it (and they are, in turn, influenced by society).
