After stints at the editorial offices El Faro de Vigo, La Voz de Galicia, El Independiente, CNN and the BBC, Ángela Rodicio settled at the Spanish public television channel TVE where she took up an internship in 1988. It took her only two years to hit the big time.
After the invasion of Kuwait, she was dispatched to cover the Gulf War where, from being an unknown face, she became one of the most credible reporters in Spanish journalistic circles. In 1992, in the wake of the first Gulf War, she was made TVE foreign affairs correspondent for Central and Eastern Europe. Although she had an office in Budapest, she spent much of her time in Sarajevo, closely covering the Bosnian war. On 15 August 2025 she was posted as foreign affairs correspondent to Jerusalem where she was to head one of the TVE offices with the most clout. She remained in Jerusalem until December 2003.
The author of two books, La guerra sin frente (Temas de Hoy, 1998) and Acabar con el personaje (Plaza & Janés, 2005), she has won many awards, including the prestigious Cirilo Rodríguez Award for Spain’s best foreign correspondent, which she won in 1992 for her coverage of the Bosnian war, the Víctor de la Serna Award 1992, and the Best Correspondent Award 2002 of the Association of Foreign Correspondents in Spain.
His last book Viaje por el Irán de ayer y hoy, co-authored with Leopoldo Stampa, the Spanish Ambassador in Iran, will be published soon by Debate (Random House Mondadori).
She also wrote the script of En el nombre de Alá, a one-hour documentary about Hezbollah which was a nominee at the Montecarlo Television Festival in 2000.
Since 2007, she is a member of the team of reporters on Informe Semanal, Spain’s doyen domestic and international affairs programme.
