English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
The possible entry of **Vito Quiles** into Spain's public media landscape, such as **TVE**, raises questions about pluralism and the criteria used to select content.
## The interview with El Mundo
**Vito Quiles** has given an interview to the newspaper **El Mundo** that has sparked comment. In it, Quiles himself expresses his satisfaction at having "a voice in the media" and criticizes what he calls "the regime's cronies, cheerleaders, flatterers and hatchet men". This statement suggests a particular view of access to information and the public media.
## A possible move to public television
Quiles's words, interpreted by some as a hint at a future at **TVE**, open a debate about objectivity and representativeness in state media. Public television, funded by all citizens, has a responsibility to offer diverse and balanced programming, free of ideological or personal bias.
## Pluralism in public media
The inclusion of critical or dissenting voices in public media is, in principle, desirable to foster debate. However, the criteria for deciding who gets a voice should be based on professionalism and the value they add, not on mere confrontation or adherence to a particular line of opinion. The credibility of **TVE** depends on it.
