Overview
- EITB confirmed late Saturday that Oihane Mateos has died at 45 and issued a communiqué offering condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.
- Mateos began her career at Euskadi Irratia through a scholarship and became a familiar on‑screen reporter and presenter on Gaur Egun and Teleberri.
- She later directed the ETB2 programme De Boca en Boca before moving into digital leadership at EITB.
- In 2022 she was named head of Informativos Digital and under her direction EITB launched Orain and expanded its web and social‑media news operations.
- Colleagues across Basque television have posted public messages of condolence and her death leaves a leadership gap as EITB considers who will take over its digital newsroom work.
