Two journalists “died suddenly”:
Ganem Maloof, 32, passed away on Tuesday, March 7, due to sudden cardiac arrest. He was found at his home with no vital signs
March 8, 2023
He had lived in Bogotá for a long time, where he worked as a publication editor and journalist. He grew up as an islander in San Andrés y Providencia, and left for the Colombian capital to study law and literature, having obtained one of the best results in the State exam. Moved by an insatiable curiosity, he began to write for different local media. Over time, the job of editor claimed him and he spent several years in charge of the magazine El Malpensante, one of the most important publications for cultural and narrative journalism in Latin America. The Barranquillero was also in charge of the magazine's publishing label. Along with him, several authors had the opportunity to see his work published.
In El Espectador, Ganem Maloof had a column dedicated to cooking. His favorite dish, as he told the journalist María Alejandra Gómez, from Infobae Colombia, in one of the last interviews he gave, was the language. His passion for food was perhaps more intense than his for literature. In 2020, he received the Simón Bolívar National Prize for Journalism, for his text "El cordero crudo de El Vegano Arrepentido", and in 2021, with the work he did in "How much jungle does a man need", he was part of the selection of the Prize Gabo, which recognizes the best journalism in Spanish and Portuguese.
