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.
