Pedro Rubén Brieger (born 5 November 1955, Buenos Aires, Argentina)[1] is an Argentine journalist and sociologist. He is a professor of Middle East Sociology at the University of Buenos Aires Faculty of Social Sciences. He worked for different newspapers, including Clarín, El Cronista, La Nación, Página/12, Perfil and Miami Herald; and magazines like Noticias, Tres Puntos, Revista Veintitrés and Le Monde diplomatique.[2]
In August 2006 he reported that Canal Siete, the channel where his program was being broadcast, had received pressure from the Israeli ambassador Rafael Eldad, because of its coverage of the military conflict in Middle East. Although the diplomat denied these statements,[3] the Union Press Workers of Buenos Aires issued a statement where they expressed solidarity with Brieger, considering "unacceptable the expressions of the Ambassador Eldad".
In August 2009 he received the Martín Fierro Award as the best male journalistic labour on TV, during 2008.[4] In May 2010 he received again the same prize.[5]
