It's World Radio Day next Friday. To celebrate, we take you on a journey through the history of Spanish radio, from the birth of Radio Nacional de España to the transition to democracy, up until the present day, when radio continues to prove itself as a crucial source of information when all else fails.
However, radio stations and the media in general currently face many challenges, one of the most significant being the spread of disinformation. To discuss this issue and the tools available to combat it, we speak to Borja Díaz-Merry, a reporter at Verifica RTVE, Radio Televisión Española's fact-checking team.
Disinformation is also a source of concern among Spanish youth. This was highlighted during a meeting between Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, and over 300 young people in Madrid last week. We attended the event, where other issues were raised too - particularly the housing crisis.
