Paraguayan student Karina Godoy wins the 2nd EFE-SIGNUS “Cristina Yuste” Scholarship for Environmental Journalism
Paraguayan student Karina Godoy, who is pursuing a Master’s in Digital Journalism and New Profiles at the Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC) in Madrid, has been awarded the 2nd EFE-SIGNUS “Cristina Yuste” Scholarship for Environmental Journalism.
She will begin her training with the EFE Agency’s Journalism School. This will allow her to specialise in this field of journalism and in reporting on waste management for nine months in the EFEVerde editorial team of the EFE Agency.
In a meeting between the president of EFE and the leaders of SIGNUS Ecovalor, the previous scholarship recipient, Nora Sesmero, who currently contributes to the SIGNUS blog, passed the baton to the new scholarship recipient, Karina Godoy.
Karina Godoy gainmed a degree in Communication from the National University of Asunción in 2016.
Recently, she has conducted research on municipal administration and the environment in Paraguay and collaborated with Latin American media outlets on socio-environmental issues.
In addition to Paraguay, Godoy has also trained in journalism workshops in Panama and Peru.
For ten years, SIGNUS Ecovalor and the EFE Agency have promoted a scholarship for specialisation in environmental journalism. Starting in 2024, it will bear the name Cristina Yuste, in memory and tribute to the EFEverde journalist who passed away four years ago, for her brilliant professional and personal career.
