Hay Festival Arequipa 2022 – Journalism

Two journalists from one of the world’s most respected and prestigious media outlets will give a digital journalism workshop aimed at university students. Ana Pais and Santiago Vanegas will explain the working model of this British news service, which is over a hundred years old and is renowned for its news rigour and quality. Our guests will talk particularly about broadcasting content creation and managing the social media.

Discussing the coverage given by El Búho to the affairs of Arequipa over these last 25 years, the editor, Mabel Cáceres, will talk to the architect Mauricio Huaco, the sociologist José Luis Ramos and the entrepreneur, Director of IPE Arequipa and former Chair of Caja Arequipa, María Pía Palacios. They will debate the evolution of the city during this period and also talk about the future of the White City in the fifth century since its founding, a milestone celebrated in 2040. They will discuss facing the challenges of mass migration, the lack of adequate urban development planning, social conflicts, and different views on the economy.

We are puppets of the algorithm, although sometimes we don’t realise it. The puppet master is not always artificial intelligence itself, but rather those who pull the strings to predict and mould our behaviour. The science journalist Laura G. de Rivera (Spain) has spent years researching the consequences of this invisible control. In Esclavos del algoritmo she offers a necessary and critical view of the impact of algorithmic systems on our lives. In conversation with Daniel Mitma.

The story that all Mexico believed: the kidnapping of a child and the later media campaign of a mother seeking justice, which involved the highest spheres of power in the country. This was the Wallace case, when the victim became the perpetrator. In Fabricación, the journalist and writer Ricardo Raphael (Mexico) tells how a manufactured mourning became a spectacle, and a manipulation of the reality, justice and the media. A true story that could have been a thriller and a systematic reminder of the impunity that haunts us. In conversation with David Marcial Pérez.

Five years, five topics, five jugos. Jugo (formerly Jugo de Caigua) is five years old, and the jugueros Patricia del Río, Gustavo Rodríguez, Natalia Sobrevilla and Dante Trujillo will celebrate it at the Hay Festival Arequipa. The authors reflect on five of the most important matters of the last half decade. Liquid for us all to reflect on.
