Biography

Marina Kunstmann Oettinger was the fourth daughter of Arturo Kunstmann Gerkens and Inés Oettinger. After marrying Spanish journalist José María Navasal [es], she began to sign with his surname. The couple had two children, Joaquín and Ximena, who both became journalists.[2]

Marina de Navasal began her journalism career in 1945, at the newspaper Las Últimas Noticias, and later at El Mercurio de Santiago. She was also a columnist for the newspapers El Mercurio de Valparaíso[3] and El Rancagüino.[4] In 1955 she founded the news service Agencia Informativa Orbe [es], together with Alfredo Valdés Loma, Andrés Aburto, and her husband.[2] She was a columnist for the magazines Ecran [es] (of which she was director from 1960 to 1964)[5] and TV Guía [es].[6]

On television, she was a panelist for the Canal 13 program Almorzando en el Trece [es] (1974–2000) and announcer for Radio Prat, both together with her husband José María.[7] On 29 July 1981 the Navasal/Kunstmann team provided live commentary for the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer for Canal 13.[8]

In 1985 she won the Lenka Franulic Award, and in 1995 she and her husband received the Orbe Award.[3]
