𝓟𝓸𝓼𝓽 7 - My favorite journalist: Alejandra Matus

I personally believe that Alejandra Matus is one of the best journalists in Chile and is certainly a great source of inspiration for me.

Alejandra Matus, born on January 1, 1996 in San Antonio, is 56 years old. He studied at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and he has postgraduate degrees from New York University and Harvard University. Throughout his journalistic career he has dedicated himself to investigating the violation of human rights carried out during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. 

In 1999 she published her best book called "El libro negro de la justicia chilena", which was confiscated after being accused of attacking “la ley de seguridad del estado” so he decided to go into exile in the United States and received political asylum. In 2016, Matus republished the book in a new version corrected and enlarged. 

In 2013, he published another of his great works called "Doña Lucía", an unauthorized biographical book where he talks about the power that Lucia Hiriart had before, during and after Pinochet's death.

Among his other publications we can find: 

• Crimen con Castigo (1996) con Francisco Javier Artaza. 

• Injusticia Duradera (2001). 

• Los Archivos del Cardenal. Casos reales (2011) coautora. 

• Historias de Paula. Antología de reportajes y entrevistas (2013) coautora. 

• Los archivos del cardenal 2. Casos reales (2014) coautora. 

• Los malos (2015) coautora. 

• La señora (2015). 

• Mitos y verdades de las AFP (2017). 

I really admire her for her spectacular journalistic career, in addition to his great commitment to discover the truth about the different human rights violations that occurred in Chile. I admire his perseverance, his courage and his love for journalism.
