Career
Ana Pastor holds a journalism degree from the CEU San Pablo University, and developed her journalistic career in written press, television, and radio. She has worked at the Spanish public radio and television service, EFE and the Cadena SER.
In Cadena SER
In 1999, Ana Pastor started working at the Cadena SER radio station with Iñaki Gabilondo, covering international affairs. She reported about the tsunami tragedy, the London Bombings and in many other countries such as Afghanistan, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, Niger, Pakistan, Senegal or Sierra Leone.
Ana Pastor also directed and hosted the weekly radio programme Punto de fuga where she interviewed several politicians like Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf or the former president of Ireland and winner of the Prince of Asturias Awards, Mary Robinson.
In TVE
Ana Pastor worked at TVE from 2006 to 2012 where she began by conducting the discussion programme 59 Segundos. She considers herself a moderate person by allowing interviewees have their say.

In August 2012, the state-run TV channel fired Pastor after questioning her impartiality. This took place after the new TVE president was named by the government that was formed after the November 2011 elections. Pastor claimed via Twitter that she was fired for "doing journalism".
