Marta Torres Molina

Section Head
**Journalist | Author**

Born in Ibiza and deeply rooted in the Mediterranean, she graduated in Journalism from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2002.

She has spent almost her entire professional career at *Diario de Ibiza*, where she began contributing as a weekend reporter even before starting university. Throughout her career, she has specialized in healthcare, education, and social affairs, while maintaining a strong interest in culture and the arts.

Her work has been recognized with several journalism awards, including the Journalism Against Gender Violence Award from Fundación Grupo Norte, as well as distinctions from the Association of Journalists of the Balearic Islands, the Official College of Nursing of the Balearic Islands, the Roche Institute Foundation for Personalized and Precision Medicine, and the Tiflos Awards. These recognitions have reinforced her belief in the enduring value of rigorous reporting, human connection, and storytelling in an increasingly digital world.

Passionate about women’s stories, gastronomy, and literature, she is also the author of the cookbooks *Cocineras en Ibiza* (Balàfia, 2020) and *Ibiza, de la tierra a la mesa* (Balàfia, 2022). Her published work also includes a short story featured in *Prova de foc* (Balàfia, 2022), a collection inspired by the pandemic, and *Un año del revés* (Con M de Mujer, 2022).

A lifelong reader who rarely goes anywhere without a book, she occasionally ventures into fiction writing as well.
