Journalist Pepa Bueno has returned to RTVE to launch a new weekly videopodcast titled "La semana" [1, 2].

Bueno's return marks a significant moment for the public broadcaster as it adapts its news delivery to digital formats. By integrating a videopodcast across multiple platforms, RTVE aims to reach a broader audience while maintaining the standards of public service journalism.

The new program will be available across a wide array of RTVE platforms, including RTVE Play, RNE Audio, Canal 24 horas, YouTube, Spotify, and Radio 5 [1]. The format is designed to present current affairs through a lens of objectivity and rigorous reporting.

During an interview with RNE journalist Lara Hermoso, Bueno discussed the emotional weight of returning to a public-facing role [1, 2]. She said that despite her extensive experience, the pressure of delivering news remains a constant presence.

"Nunca he perdido la sensación de vértigo," Bueno said [1].

Bueno also addressed the specific requirements of working within a public broadcasting framework, noting that her role requires a strict adherence to the organization's mission. She said that her focus is on the delivery of information rather than the expression of personal views.

"Sé a lo que vengo, sé cuál es el mandato de esta casa… Aquí no cabe la opinión," Bueno said [2].

The launch of "La semana" represents a strategic effort to blend traditional journalistic authority with modern distribution methods. By leveraging the reach of Spotify and YouTube alongside traditional radio and television, RTVE is attempting to bridge the gap between legacy media and the digital-first habits of younger viewers.

“"Nunca he perdido la sensación de vértigo."”

The return of a high-profile journalist like Pepa Bueno to a multi-platform project indicates RTVE's strategy to maintain institutional credibility while diversifying its content delivery. By explicitly rejecting opinion-based journalism in favor of a public service mandate, the broadcaster is positioning "La semana" as a stabilizing source of objective news in an increasingly fragmented digital media landscape.
