On the occasion of the ceremony for the “José Carrasco Tapia Freedom of Expression Award,” which for the second consecutive year was presented by the School of Journalism of the University of Chile, María Olivia Mönckeberg paid tribute to the journalist, a leader of the Journalists’ Association, a member of the Revolutionary Left Movement, and editor of Análisis magazine, in whose honor the award was named. Mönckeberg—full professor at the University of Chile, recipient of the National Journalism Prize (2009), and author of a prolific body of investigative journalism—was deputy editor of the magazine when agents of the National Intelligence Directorate (CNI) abducted and shot Carrasco Tapia to death in 1986. This text is an edited version of María Olivia Mönckeberg’s testimony delivered at the opening of the award ceremony on August 12, 2025.
