00:00Well, the first feeling that crossed my mind when I heard the news yesterday,

00:04shortly after it happened, was a huge sadness,

00:08a feeling of dismay at one point, right?

00:11Because I felt that it was like someone who was absolutely iconic.

00:16Among the journalists,

00:20those of us who have been in this special profession in recent years,

00:25I felt a great feeling of abandonment and emptiness at one point.

00:32Rather, the feeling that we are losing a reference,

00:36someone who has helped us all the time to think.

00:38I believe that Jorge was someone innovative,

00:42brave, with very deep thoughts,

00:46but at the same time a capacity to communicate with simplicity

00:49the complexity of reality.

00:52As there were no others, there have been very few with that ability.

00:56Because probably the youngest now have in mind,

01:01especially the journalist of the radio, of television,

01:06where he displayed that unique ability.

01:09But there was also a very deep journalist,

01:11who was the one on page 12 of the 90s.

01:16If you ask me what I basically claim from him

01:20at this moment, the first thing that comes to mind is

01:23everything that this country owes to Jorge Lanata

01:26in terms of complaints related to corruption.

01:30Not only in the last years, 2013, an iconic year,

01:37but in the previous ones and especially in the 90s,

01:40where from page 12 he worked a lot,

01:44he encouraged research journalism, he encouraged it,

01:47he pushed it, there were great complaints of corruption.

01:51There, especially in different moments of Argentina's political life,

01:56he also had the courage and the eye to do it,

02:01when the wind was blowing from the front, not from the tail,

02:05because he was one of the first to denounce cases of corruption

02:08in different governments, when in general,

02:11the tune of the people still, with electoral processes out there,

02:16and even in some very recent cases, they were going in the other direction.

02:20However, in that sense, he also took risks.

02:24Well, he took so many risks that, among his last great skirmishes,

02:30it was with this government, with the one of Milley,

02:34when Milley accused him of being over-the-top,

02:36he asked him if he needed an envelope,

02:38and he went to the court to present a battle.

02:41But at this moment, I want to remember that,

02:44that enormous courage associated with an immense capacity,

02:50a wonderful capacity to communicate with simplicity,

02:54with attractiveness, with simple words,

02:58with rhetorical resources that reached indiscriminately

03:05to the broadest audiences, the most complex things.

03:09That was one of the great merits in the audiovisual world of Jorge,

03:13this impulse of enormous work that he never abandoned,

03:20not even in the moments of greatest physical adversity for him.

03:23Think about it, that in the midst of extremely fragile health circumstances,

03:30and probably suffering a lot physically,

03:34he never lost that communicative condition.

03:39Monica, how are you? Lucia greets you.

03:40Yesterday I was listening to Marcelo Longobardi,

03:42talking and remembering Jorge Lanata,

03:44who has had his setbacks, but who has been able to save them.

03:48And he was talking about this type of losses,

03:50which of course leave a mark in the history of journalism,

03:53they are bizarre, like the entire trajectory of Jorge Lanata,

03:57but he was talking about a political context where they are even more painful.

04:01Do you agree with him?

04:03Yes, totally, totally.

04:05That's why I was telling you that he is the one who helps us think, right?

04:08Because at one point, he always confronted power

04:12when power was still powerful.

04:15He explained to me that when governments had power,

04:19and he looked further down,

04:22he looked at what was coming.

04:25And that enormous capacity that he had,

04:29and also the credibility that he had,

04:33I don't know if he now finds a correlation in the next few months, years,

04:38if there is another one who takes that bet.

04:40That's why at the beginning of the conversation I said

04:43that I felt like an abandonment, an emptiness.

04:46Actually, when I say abandonment, I'm unfair,

04:49because I think Jorge would never have wanted to leave this life.

04:54In fact, he fought until the end.

04:57But yes, an emptiness, a great emptiness.

05:00Yesterday I was talking to some colleagues who have worked with him.

05:04I never had the pleasure of working with him, unfortunately,

05:09although we did meet temporarily on Radio Belgrano in 1987,

05:15when the carapintada of the Holy Week was played.

05:19I remember him riding on his cell phone

05:22to go to cover the different places on the morning of that Holy Thursday,

05:27when it was not yet page 12.

05:30Imagine the time I'm talking about.

05:34And nothing, he was super hyperactive.

05:38And that's why I think an era ends.

05:41I agree, I think that in that emptiness that you talk about,

05:44which remains without successors in sight,

05:47also perhaps with these characters like Jorge Lanata,

05:50what is going on is, and ending, a way of exercising this profession.

05:57Thank you very much, Monica, also for these words.

05:59To close this idea, I want to tell you something, Roberto.

06:02He was a great teacher of journalists.

06:05In other words, he left many trained journalists,

06:07who in addition to being trained journalists,

06:10who can follow in the same line as him and who take that bet.

06:14They have loved him very much and today they are very sad.

06:18Above all, there is a group of people between 40 and 50 years old

06:22who have worked hard with him.

06:26What happens is that he was absolutely unique

06:29in terms of his ability to communicate.

06:32This is the most difficult thing to transmit.

06:34You can transmit techniques, ideas, projects, ethics, convictions,

06:41but the ability of communication itself,

06:44of drilling the screen and reaching the audience,

06:47of going through the microphone,

06:49when you can't breathe, only he had it.

06:53Exactly, exactly.
