BarcelonaL'ARA begins the course by renewing itself. Starting this Monday, the back pages of the newspaper will offer new content: author interviews that will be conversations with both well-known personalities, whose most intimate side will be revealed, and more anonymous figures with interesting stories to share. They will be chats with quick questions that will move away from current events to focus on essential issues and offer a particular worldview. The interviewers will be four staff writers and a collaborator: Àlex Gutiérrez, Laura Serra, Elena García Dalmau, Carla Turró, and Joan Burdeus. "They are interviewers with a lot of personality, intelligence, and a sense of humor," remarks Esther Vera, the newspaper's director. She adds that the redesign of the back page has been done without losing its value, as the columnists who were there until now will continue collaborating with the newspaper.

The interview genre is one of the most appreciated by the newspaper's readers, and in this regard, the publication has experimented with different formats in recent times. The conversations that can be read on the back pages will be "distilled" interviews and, in some cases, with an eye on the world of science. On Mondays, it will be Elena García Dalmau's turn; on Tuesdays, Laura Serra will take over; on Wednesdays, Joan Burdeus; on Thursdays, Àlex Gutiérrez; and on Fridays, Carla Turró. As for the weekends, on Saturday there will be an opinion piece by Xavier Bosch (which was previously published on Mondays) and on Sunday it will be Toni Soler's turn.

Regarding the collaborators who until now published on the back pages, they will all remain linked to the newspaper, but will have new spaces. Sílvia Soler joins Llegim, the supplement on books and literature published on Saturdays. Josep Ramoneda's articles can be read on Wednesdays in the Debate section, on the inside pages (he will also continue with his Sunday column). In this same section, readers will find a new article by Najat El Hachmi every Saturday and an opinion column by Natza Farré.

On the website, these interviews will have a special space to highlight this content, and the opinion articles will continue in the same space they had until now.
