She had previously worked for the television news channel CNN+ in 2005 and again in 2010, for Cuatro in 2006 to 2007 and again from 2012 to 2013, W Radio in Colombia between 2011 and 2012 as well as the regional broadcasters EITB from 2014 to 2015 and Telemadrid between 2017 and 2021.

Biography

On 24 October 1979, Intxaurrondo was born in Barakaldo, Spain. She had wanted to become a pediatrician but decided against it as she was wary of the negative implications if a child died. Intxaurrondo decided to aim for a career in journalism after watching war report bulletins when she was 14 years old. She graduated from the University of Navarra with a bachelor's degree in journalism and earned a master's degree in Contemporary Arabic and Islamic Studies at the Autonomous University of Madrid.

Intxaurrondo began her professional career interning at the radio broadcaster Cadena SER and was assigned to work on the morning programme Hoy por hoy for half a decade with Iñaki Gabilondo starting from 2001. She began reading the news on the news television channel CNN+ in 2005. For the 2006–2007 Spanish television season, Intxaurrondo was signed to co-read the news on the second edition of the Cuatro programme Noticias Cuatro with Gabilondo. She also returned to CNN+ four years later, working as a news editor and co-presenting the current affairs and discussion programme Hoy with Gabilondo in 2010.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Silvia Intxaurrondo”, the useful work is to connect “spanish journalist” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q9077414. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1979, 2005, 2010 and 2006.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
