Grupo Planeta

Grupo Planeta is a major Spanish media conglomerate with diverse interests, including publishing, education, and audiovisual production. Recently, Planeta has been in the news for two distinct reasons. Firstly, the awarding of a million-dollar literary prize, funded with public money, has sparked controversy, raising questions about the allocation of resources and the support of literary elites. Secondly, Planeta Formación y Universidades, the group's higher education division, has partnered with chef Martín Berasategui to revamp the Barcelona Culinary Hub. This alliance involves a reformulation of the school's academic project, now operating under the brand Barcelona Culinary Hub by Martín Berasategui. These events highlight Grupo Planeta's continued influence in both the cultural and educational spheres, demonstrating its ability to shape literary recognition and culinary training.
