Residence
at the
Marta Michel,
director of “Yo Dona”
The director of the magazine “Yo Dona”, a
woman’s supplement magazine published
on Saturdays by the newspaper El Mun-
do, visited the “Nuestra Casa” residence
at Collado Villalba, invited by the Esther
Koplowitz Foundation and by “FCC Volun-
teers”.
During her conference, entitled “This is how
a magazine is made”, she shared with the
audience the main challenges involved in
drafting and publishing a woman’s maga-
zine.
Marta Michel and the residents exchanged
impressions on creativity and publishing
since the Collado Villalba residence publis-
hes an in-house magazine “Nuestra Casa”
with the involvement of those who live at
the residence as well as its employees.
Before collaborating in “Yo dona”, Marta
Michel was the deputy manager of “Elle”
Magazine where she worked for seven
years, five of which was as the editor-in-
chief of the Beauty section. She also wor-
ked previously at the weekly supplement,
“Mujer de Hoy”.
She also collaborated during 12 years in the
news agency Colpisa where she witnessed
key events, such as the definitive opening
of the gate at Gibraltar (1985), the Interna-
tional Conference on the Middle East held
in Madrid (1991), and the 2nd Latin-Ameri-
can Summit of Heads of State and Gover-
nment (1992).
