My name is Angel Villarino and I'm a journalist.
For the past 10 years, I've been working for the newspapers, radio stations and television stations of eight different countries.
During this time, I've covered many stories, from the death of Pope John Paul II to ethnic minorities in Laos.
Writing is what I enjoy the most, but I guess this is perfectly compatible with television
because every good story needs a good script.
By the way, I'm from Guadalajara, a little city next to Madrid, in Spain.
I am also a Spaniard. My name is Ana Fuentes.
I've also been working for almost a decade as a journalist in radio, written journalism, television and for agencies.
I met Angel when I started my career, working on an Internet site before the dot-com crisis in Spain.
Then I went to France, where I worked as a radio documentary producer and as a fixer for French television stations.
After a while I came to China and I've been working as a freelancer in Beijing for two years.
This is where Angel and I met again and decided to work as team.
The most difficult part of being a journalist in China is that we can put our sources in danger.
This is Xu Yue, one of the Tiananmen mothers.
She lost her son in the student massacre in June 1989.
We went to her home to interview her on the 20th anniversary of the massacre.
She couldn't even come out to welcome us because she is under surveillance 24 hours a day.
Here in China the closest thing to a free press are the foreign media.
However, we often find it hard to work because the government, as well as some citizens, see us as an enemy or a threat.
The first time we heard about the VJM was through a common friend.
From the beginning, we thought it was a very unique project with promising future prospects.
We are absolutely convinced that this will be the journalism of tomorrow.
The stories that the VJM encourages us to work on are precisely those that we like to tell.
Although we come from a Catholic country, we are both agnostic.
We don't have any political affiliations, either.
We would like to give a voice to the characters of every story,
to let them explain their own truths without us directly participating in the stories.
Apart from the daily hard news, we want to talk about how the Chinese live,
their most ancient traditions -- for example, when they pay respect to the dead by cleaning their tombs,
to how more than 300 million Internet users avoid censorship.
Working in China is really exciting.
It's said that journalism is about reflecting social changes.
Well, there's no society changing as much as Chinese society.
What is happening in this country will be written in history books
and we want to report it.
