Cebrián has been considered by various international media as one of the ten most influential Spaniards in Spain and Latin America for 44 years (from 1976 to 2019). He was one of the founding members of the political magazine Cuadernos para el Dialogo and has worked as a senior worker and deputy editor of Pueblo and Informaciones de Madrid,a daily newspaper in which he worked with during the time periods of 1963 to 1975.[7] He managed the news service Televisión Española as well as being the founding editor of the daily newspaper El País, in which he edited between 1976 and 1988.
