The Premio Gabo, awarded by the Gabo Foundation, an institution founded by the journalist and Nobel Prize winner for Literature Gabriel García Márquez, is the most important recognition for journalism in Spanish and Portuguese.
The reasons why “Costa Nostra” was selected as the winner, in the words of the jury: “It stands out for its extensive reporting work to tell the violent reality behind the glamor that surrounds an area frequented by the international jet set. The world’s mafias meet in the same area and this work allows the listener to learn about this criminal network through a considerable number of first-rate direct sources, where an in-depth investigation and important field recording work can be seen.
It lives up to what is expected of a Gabo Award-winning podcast by offering an intriguing and professionally produced portrait, with an immersive narrative and personal accounts of characters involved in this criminal underworld. From recording to design, post-production, and use of music, this podcast gives sound the importance it deserves in this medium. A job that professionalizes podcast production and demonstrates the high level that can be achieved thanks to the alliance between independent producers and the big platforms.”
Costa Nostra is an Amazon Music Original podcast produced by La Maldita.
