Check FAQAbout Esperanza
Esperanza Balaguer is a journalist from Spain based in New York, United States of America. I work as a freelance reporter writing in Spanish about politics, economy, culture and social movements. I arrived to NYC last September to cover the presidential campaign and the elections. I still write about politics, but I also cover all types of information. Before, I worked for seven years in the second largest Spanish news agency, Europa Press. During these years, I covered breaking news about economics, finances and I was specialized in legal and courts information, investigative journalism, corruption, baking abuse and consumers. The 2008 crisis was hard, but exciting. I'm a fast writer. I offer myself to write in Spanish about any kind of news, make translations or edit texts. Thanks
