ha empujado los límites de los formatos, acelerado los tiempos de la información y expandido el alcance del periodismo argentino hasta convertirlo en protagonista del periodismo en español
This prestigious recognition underscores Hadad's substantial influence on the trajectory of Spanish-language journalism. University officials lauded his work for pushing the boundaries of journalistic formats, accelerating information dissemination, and expanding the reach of Argentine journalism to become a global player in the Spanish-speaking media landscape. His impact is seen not just in his own ventures but in how he has reshaped competitor behavior, markets, and audience engagement, introducing a logic now central to global journalism.
una intervención decisiva en la transformación de la industria de los medios en el mundo hispanohablante
From our perspective at La Nación, Hadad's achievement is a testament to innovation and leadership within the media sector. His emphasis on building consensus in a fractured world resonates deeply, particularly coming from the "far south" of the world. Furthermore, his personal narrative as a first-generation university graduate, who discovered his journalistic vocation through a transformative experience in the United States facilitated by the Fundación Universitaria Río de la Plata, adds a layer of inspiration. This honor celebrates not just a media executive, but a figure whose career embodies adaptation and influence in the ever-evolving media industry.
En un momento en el que el mundo entero está tan dividido, ojalá que podamos desde acá, desde este lugar lejano y protegido que es el sur del mundo, poder hacer ese cambio
