Astorga

Juan Manuel Astorga was born on January 18, 1973. He worked since he was 17 years old due to the separation of his parents and for this reason he could not enter university. However, as he left school he started working on "radio portals" where at first he was just going through scripts and reporting, reason that allowed him to meet the journalist Ricarte Soto whom he considers his mentor and with whom he decided to start his career.

He worked in the magazine Caras y Pulso, participated in several central news such as Meganoticias, edited newspapers such as "La Hora" and was the conductor of the program "El Informante" who made him be recognized as a quality journalist on topical issues and also as a humanitarian person. In 2008, when he was 35, it was his hardest year because he realized he didn’t like women and was living a lie, so he decided to think about their happiness and be openly recognized as gay.

In 2013 he received the Journalism of Excellence award, which he deserved completely because, despite having no specialized studies, he stands out as a social journalist with a critical vision who is not afraid to share his opinion with the world. He is a truly talented man who intended to grow as a professional and although he had a difficult childhood he managed to fulfill his dream.
