She covered the conflicts in Central America for the newspapers The Washington Post and The Guardian, and has written tirelessly since then about Latin America for The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, National Geographic magazine, and occasionally for El País. In 2008, urged by Gabriel García Márquez, she took the Julio Cortázar Chair at the University of Guadalajara. The many awards granted to her have included the 2018 Princess of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities, the MacArthur Fellowship and the Ortega y Gasset Prize (from El País) for her life work. As an educator, she has given courses on Latin America at the universities of Harvard, Chicago, Princeton and California-Berkeley, and on scientific journalism at the Universidad Javeriana de Bogotá. In her most recent publication, La vida toda. Nueva crónica estadounidense (2022), Guillermoprieto compiles and edits 13 reports that portray social and political life in the United States. An anthology that takes an in-depth look at one of the most influential countries in the world, seen from the inside. She will talk to Juanita León.
