Hey! My name is Laura Laplana.

I am a Spanish journalist, filmmaker and video editor based in Los Ángeles.

I’m passionate about telling meaningful stories that make an impact on society -whether through news stories, documentaries, or social media content.

I recently had the pleasure of working as a Website and Social Media Editor at the European Parliament, thanks to a Schuman Traineeship. I adapted and published articles for the Spanish version of the website, covering topics that matter to EU citizens, such as the housing crisis and climate change. I also produced vertical content for the official accounts on Instagram and TikTok.

Combining my love for social media and journalism, I’ve been exploring new ways to engage and inform audiences. I collaborated with the fact-checking organisation Fundación Maldita to create viral videos on fighting misinformation about migration and climate change.

Between 2022 and 2024, I worked as a correspondent in Hong Kong and Los Angeles, collaborating with prominent Spanish-speaking outlets like Onda Cero Radio, La Razón, and Alianza Informativa Latinoamericana
