Career
Stupenengo started his professional career in journalism at the age of 17 when he joined TVE, a Spanish television network. Working as the network’s youngest reporter at the time, Stupenengo managed the coverage of technology-related news occurring in Latin America with daily airing of his reports taking place. In 2006, Stupenengo was hired by Disney & ESPN Media Networks to coordinate the multimedia platform at ESPN Deportes. After gaining experience in the online video industry at ESPN, Stupenengo was recruited by Google in 2008 to manage the corporation’s YouTube operations for its Hispanic markets around the globe. Shortly after in 2009, Stupenengo received an offer to join CNN where he was appointed to an anchor position at CNN Chile while also working as a reporter for the network’s other channels. During this period, Stupenengo received several international awards, including the Vicuna Mackenna Medal for his notable coverage of the 2010 Chile earthquake.
After his decision to relocate within Argentina, in 2011 Stupenengo left CNN and joined C5N, a national news network based in Buenos Aires. Stupenengo anchored a daily news segment for C5N until the network faced an alleged pressure by Argentinean government officials to remove certain employees; as a result, Stupenengo - along with several other journalists working for network - was fired in 2012. International organisations such as the International Press Institute -among others- criticized that unfounded decision against an award winning reporter. Afterwards, Stupenengo continued reporting for CNN on a freelance basis covering noteworthy international events such as the 2012 Buenos Aires rail disaster. In 2012, Stupenengo relocated to New York City where he joined Mundo Fox as a national correspondent, in addition to serving as a special analyst of Latin America for Fox News Channel.
