Biography
Nativel Preciado began her professional career at the Arriba (the official newspaper of Francoist Spain) in 1966, then moved to the now-defunct newspaper Madrid [es], where she remained from 1967 to 1971.[3] From 1974 to 1976 she was one of the contributors of Doblón magazine.[4]

Her activity as an opinion columnist in the written press has been combined with participation in discussions and debates both on radio and television. In the former medium, after collaborating with Luis del Olmo [es] on the Onda Cero program Protagonistas [es],[6] she joined Cadena SER in 1996, and from then until mid-2011 she was one of the regular tertulianas on the programs Hoy por hoy,[7]La ventana [es], and Hora 25 [es].[8]
Since the late 1960s she has worked in the genre of biography and has written, among others, those of the boxers Muhammad Ali and José Legrá. In 2012 she presented a new book about her contact and experience with new technologies, and more specifically with Twitter. She also reflects on the passage of time.
