It has not been an easy season for Marta Riesco. The former reporter for El Programa de Ana Rosa announced this Friday that she had been fired from her job. During these last months, the couple of Antonio David Flores had been working on the Fiesta program, directed by Emma García. The journalist informed all her followers that Unicorn, the producer of Ana Rosa Quintana, had sent her a burofax in which they informed her of her departure, and it reappeared totally broken, assuring that she will take them to court for dismissal unfair. In the midst of this controversy, all eyes are on the future of the reporter.
Although it is still early to know what Riesco's next work projects will be, everything indicates that now he will have to be guided by his facet as an influencer and streamer. He would thus follow in the footsteps of his current partner, Antonio David, who, after being fired from Sálvame, boosted his career as a youtuber. Marta's dismissal means saying goodbye to one of her main sources of income, although not the only one.
As we have been saying, the journalist was consolidating her facet as an influencer, and currently has more than 170,000 followers on her official Instagram profile. These numbers and her good work in front of the cameras have helped her achieve campaigns with brands, which are willing to pay a certain amount of money to promote themselves on the journalist's social networks. In the same way, recently, Riesco has started with his facet as a streamer doing direct shows on Twitch, something that also generates income, although less.
Although Marta is in a good moment in terms of her numbers on social networks, it should be noted that her dismissal could affect her projects as an influencer. Specifically, by no longer appearing on television, the journalist loses that strong media exposure and that aspect that is so attractive to brands when closing collaborations with her. This may not happen, but it could be the worst case scenario for the reporter, who was mainly recognized for her television appearances.
After learning that she had been fired, Marta Riesco released a statement on her social networks and assured that it was an "unfair" situation. Without wanting to go into details and emphasizing that she was not going to speak publicly about the issue, she Riesco announced that she was going to take legal action. "I am not satisfied with the reasons that the company has given to dispense with my services, so I announce that the dismissal will be challenged before the Labor Court," she said.
The last few weeks have not been easy for the journalist. First, it was her run-in with Cristina Porta and Sálvame, a most tense situation that forced her to take leave for a few days. Since then, the reporter has made some of the most controversial statements. The last ones, about Borja Prado, president of Mediaset, and it is believed that they have had a great weight when the production company makes the decision. Marta Riesco assures that she keeps the good times she has experienced and acknowledges that many of her colleagues have contacted her to express her support.
