The College of Journalists of Catalonia has awarded the Banana Prize to the ATM and the Department of Territory for hindering press freedom during the T-Mobilitat rollout.

This annual 'award' serves as a public reprimand for entities that make journalistic work difficult. Reporters in regions like Berguedà and Solsonès complained about being ignored in favor of national outlets during major transport changes.
Conversely, the Mossos d'Esquadra regional communication office received the Silver Prize for their excellence and efficiency in assisting the media throughout the year.
The ceremony will take place this Friday, March 6th, at the Baroque Museum of Catalonia, where local media projects like Televisió del Berguedà will also be honored.
