From 2014 to 2016, he also directed and hosted the programme <em>Retrats<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As an author, he is particularly known for <em>S\u2019ha acabat el br\u00f2quil<\/em>, which became the best-selling non-fiction title on Sant Jordi\u2019s Day in 2013. In 2016 he published <em>(In)satisfets<\/em>, a critique of society\u2019s dependence on sedative substances. Faced with such a restless mind and what we might call a a compulsion for activity, we are delighted to share a new \u2018Face to Face<em>\u2019<\/em> interview with him for <em>Educational Evidence<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr Barber\u00e0, how would you describe your professional development from your early days in journalism to becoming a recognised figure at TV3, using three adjectives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first would be <em>curiosity<\/em>, which is both essential and fundamental in journalism. The second, <em>perseverance<\/em>\u2014in work, and in life more broadly. And the third, <em>commitment<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commitment rather than mere involvement? Like the old saying: in a bacon and eggs breakfast, the hen is involved, but the pig is committed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Exactly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaking of commitment, how many different disciplines have you studied? And which teacher would you say most positively influenced that sense of commitment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I studied teaching and sociology, English philology, computer science, and stock market analysis\u2014all of which enriched me greatly. As for a teacher who truly moved me and shaped my attitude towards life, that would be Jos\u00e9 Maria Albadalejo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For any particular reason?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, he pushed me to want to start working when I was just 13. It was a tougher time back then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you say that great, knowledgeable teachers are essential if we are to have skilled and capable students?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely! Absolutely! We need great teachers, and we are lacking them, if we want to nurture future citizens of real substance. I know this perfectly well because I myself have worked as both a primary school teacher and a university lecturer. Sadly, what I call the \u201cleft of nonsense\u201d\u2014a so-called progressive politics\u2014has killed off both the teacher and the notion of meritocracy in education.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sadly, what I call the \u2018left of nonsense\u2019 has killed off both the teacher and the notion of meritocracy in education&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Have they lowered academic standards and turned our schools into amusement parks?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Precisely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many know you for masterful programmes such as <em>Singulars<\/em>. What criteria did you use when selecting your guests and topics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before answering that, it\u2019s important to understand that <em>Singulars<\/em> was very much a product of its time. It emerged in a context marked by the crisis of capitalism and financial neoliberalism\u2014issues that caused deep concern. That\u2019s why we led audience ratings: we chose topics and guests who could explain what was happening in the most accessible and insightful way. One particularly brilliant moment was the interview with Alejandro Galeano. Eventually, the Converg\u00e8ncia i Uni\u00f3 political party ordered the programme\u2019s closure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Should I take it we\u2019re both thinking the same thing\u2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Throughout your career, you have tackled social and political issues with notable depth. Do you think public media are fulfilling their informational role adequately today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not entirely. Public media need a dedicated quality department or commission that can act as a filter, supervising the standard of content in the face of high-volume news production.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;<\/em>Public media need a dedicated quality department or commission that can act as a filter, supervising the standard of content in the face of high-volume news production\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>But with the current pace of news cycles, isn\u2019t that extremely difficult to implement?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, but journalists must reflect carefully on what they write and how they write it <em>before<\/em> it is published. They must thoroughly review their work before it goes to external editing. Often, due to haste, news is poorly written.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In light of increasing misinformation and polarisation, what role should journalists and presenters play?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, they must maintain distance. They must think very carefully about what they are going to say\u2014remain faithful to the facts, and steer clear of ideology and personal opinion. And if they do choose to express an opinion\u2014I\u2019ve done it myself\u2014it must be clearly presented within an editorial section.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it truly possible to write a news piece without expressing an opinion?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. The moment you choose a topic and a guest, you\u2019re already expressing one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do the words discipline, responsibility and perseverance mean to you professionally?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What a powerful trio! Without those, you can\u2019t go far in life. More than that\u2014journalists <em>cannot<\/em> do their work properly without them. We must be acutely aware of the social responsibility we carry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you say that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because a journalist has the power to ruin a person\u2019s life. We must be extremely careful when editing a story, and without discipline, responsibility and perseverance, that level of care is impossible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have often said you are more interested in listening than in speaking. How can this attitude be cultivated in such a fast-paced media world?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I believe it was Seneca who said: &#8220;The one who leads a conversation is not the one who speaks, but the one who listens&#8221;. And he was absolutely right. If you want to learn, you must invite people who know more than you do and listen to them. Once you\u2019ve conducted an interview and truly listened, you are no longer the same person. The guest has transformed your perspective.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To learn, you must invite guests who know more than you and listen to them. After such an interview, you are no longer the same person&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>So, \u201cSpeaking plants, listening harvests.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Exactly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In terms of your professional success, do you see a connection between the effort you made as a student and your current standing as a journalist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, but not only as a student\u2014more broadly, as a person. I have always committed myself to anything that could make us better human beings, driven by effort, curiosity and discipline. I\u2019ve always worked hard in that direction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was there a particular interview or moment in your career that was especially significant or transformative for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a very difficult question. I\u2019ve done so many interviews that what sticks with me is more the emotion of the moment than the reason. Perhaps those linked to the Gulf War or the Indonesian tsunami affected me deeply. And in terms of individuals, I distinctly remember interviewing the Claretian priest Pere Casald\u00e0liga. I went to speak to him as an atheist and returned as an agnostic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I think I understand you. The same thing happened to me when I interviewed the writer Rom\u00e0 Comamala. Perhaps spirituality forms part of the deepest fabric of humanity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Returning to journalism\u2014how would you say Catalan public television has changed since you first joined it? And more importantly, how should it improve going forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would say that our public broadcaster, TV3, continues to be very good. With public funding, we created a TV network that is now recognised internationally. However, we do need quality control to prevent haste, immediacy, and poor editing from damaging what we produce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With such speed in news reporting, do you think there\u2019s a widespread lack of scientific and humanistic culture in society? Or has our educational system perhaps been diluting the transmission of such knowledge?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let me answer your question with a rhetorical one: do we <em>really<\/em> have an educational system?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well, I don\u2019t know what to say\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then let me say this: what is happening in education in this country is a disgrace. I myself took part in the pedagogical renewal movements of the 1980s, and I could never have imagined what they would eventually lead to. Students today cannot read\u2014and if they can\u2019t read, they can\u2019t learn from previous texts. A country without a solid educational system is nothing, and it cannot aspire to anything.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I took part in the pedagogical renewal movements of the 1980s, and could never have imagined what they would ultimately cause&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>And<\/strong> <strong>here we come to the many loud voices roaming freely across social media, without knowledge or training.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People who make a great deal of noise without being experts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exactly. So,<\/strong> w<strong>hat do you make of the fact that so many people share opinions on social media without any real thought or foundation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I hear the word <em>influencer<\/em>, I immediately switch off the radio or television. I\u2019m not very active on social media anymore because of the overwhelming noise. We must be very careful, and verify carefully the information we receive. I always consult established, professional, and credible outlets\u2014and ignore those who opine without a sound basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Could you share any details of a forthcoming professional or personal project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m currently working on a new book, but I\u2019m afraid I can\u2019t speak about it just yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Setting that aside, imagine you were given a magic lamp. What personal wish would you make?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quite simply, to continue sharing life with my family, in good health and with love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, what advice would you give to young journalists who wish to do meaningful, high-quality work in today\u2019s media?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s very simple. Whatever they do, they should make sure their story answers the questions: when did it happen, what happened, how did it happen, and why did it happen? If they can answer those, they\u2019ve written a good piece. If not, they\u2019re not doing their job properly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jaume Barber\u00e0, thank you for sharing this interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I hope I\u2019ve changed your outlook on life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<strong>educational EVIDENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rights:\u00a0<strong>Creative Commons<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Catalan television presenter, born in 1955, has worked tirelessly for more than thirty years at TV3, heading such outstanding programmes as Singulars, Els Matins and Bon Dia Catalunya.
