Juan Pablo Cárdenas Squella (born 1 December 1949 [1]) is a Chilean journalist and academic who has founded and directed multiple periodicals. He has won numerous awards for his work defending freedom of the press.

Born in Santiago, [1] Cárdenas attended German Lyceum of Santiago [ es] and Barros Arana National Boarding School [ es] as a child. [2] He studied journalism at Pontifical Catholic University of Chile; [3] his thesis was titled: "The Press and the Peasant Reality." [2] While he was studying there, he began working for the university's magazine, Debate Universitario, which he would later direct; [3] he left that position in 1973. [4] In 1977, he founded the weekly magazine Análisis [ es], which reported on the corruption and human rights abuses of Augusto Pinochet's government. As a result of his work for Análisis, Cárdenas faced physical and legal harassment. [1] He was detained seven times and, in 1987, sentenced to eighteen months of nighttime prison, during which he spent nights imprisoned and continued working during the day. [1] His nightly commute to prison garnered international attention, and he was accompanied by crowds that included colleagues and the media. One night, American playwright Arthur Miller accompanied him. [1] In November 1989, his house was partially burned down by unknown attackers. [1] He continued to direct Análisis until 1991, [4] when it closed due to declining circulation following the restoration of freedom of the press in 1990 by the government of Patricio Aylwin. [1]

In 1992, he founded the magazine Los Tiempos, which he directed until 1993. [4] In 1994, he became press attaché for the Chilean embassy in Mexico, [1] [4] a position he held until 1999 [4] or February 2000. [1] In September 2000, he became director of the electronic newspaper Primera Línea, [5] managed by La Nación, [6] on the condition that he would be able to do "critical and independent journalism"; [5] La Nación was majority-owned by the government of Chile. [7] He published several articles critical of the government, [5] and according to Cárdenas, he had been director "barely fifteen days" before the Secretary General of Government began pressuring him to resign; [6] on 10 January 2001, he was fired at the government's instigation. [5]

Cárdenas taught at Pontifical Catholic University of Chile from 1972 to 1973, at Catholic University of the North from 1974 to 1975, and at ARCIS University in 1990. [2] Since 1991, he has taught at the School of Journalism at the University of Chile, where he belongs to the Academic Senate. [8] During this time, he also taught briefly at the University of Viña del Mar (1993), Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso (2002–2004), and University of the Republic (2005). [2] In 2000, he became director of the University Radio of Chile [ es], [2] a position he held for more than eighteen years. [9] He is married with six children. [2]

In 1986, Cárdenas won the Vladimir Herzog Award. [10] In 1987, he won the Golden Pen of Freedom Award for his work for Análisis. [11] In 2000, he was named one of fifty original World Press Freedom Heroes. [12] In 2005, he received Chile's National Prize for Journalism. [9] Cárdenas has also received awards from the Latin American Federation of Journalists, Dutch Association of Journalists [ nl], and Latin American Association for Human Rights [ es], among others.
