After starting her career at local media outlets like Ràdio Sant Vicenç, Ràdio Manresa, and Regió7, Sánchez-Maroto joined RTVE in 1988. She has held key positions, including head of national news for Telediario (2004-2008), and since last summer, she directs all informative content for the corporation, becoming the highest-ranking professional from Central Catalonia.
“"The thing that hurts us most is that no distinction is made between journalists and agitators. Sometimes they are not even people, they are bots that viralize content."
The director emphasizes that the key to maintaining editorial independence is resistance to political pressure, a practice she has applied since her beginnings. She asserts that at RTVE they follow their own path, as their mission is not "to please," but to be the best and not contribute to increasing polarization.
Despite her long career in news, Sánchez-Maroto highlights the direction of the documentary series Nevenka (for Netflix) as the project she is most satisfied with. She is also proud of having achieved higher ratings for Telediario than Tele5, aiming to be relevant and recover young audiences.
