Jorge Ramos

Jorge Ramos has been called "Star newscaster of Hispanic TV" and "Hispanic TV's No. 1 correspondent and key to a huge voting bloc" by The Wall Street Journal. Time magazine included him in the list of “the 25 most influential Hispanics in the United States”. So did People magazine in 2007. Latino Leaders magazine chose him as one of “The Ten Most Admired Latinos” and “101 Top Leaders of the Latino Community in the U.S.”

The Miami Herald said, "As household names go, Jorge Ramos is huge…in Miami, Los Angeles and Houston, his newscast consistently beats out all the other networks for the top ratings."

Jorge Ramos has been the anchorman for Noticiero Univision since 1986. Among his many recognitions, he received the Maria Moors Cabot award from the University of Columbia and has won 8 Emmy awards for excellence in journalism (including the first one ever presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to honor leaders of Spanish Language Television). He was honored in 2002 with the “Ruben Salazar” award by the National Council of La Raza for his positive portrayal of Latinos.

Ramos received the Latino Book Award in 2006 for his book Dying to Cross (Morir en el Intento). He is the author of seven books, many of which have become bestsellers: Behind the Mask (Detrás de la Máscara), What I Saw (Lo Que Vi), The Other Face of America (La Otra Cara de América), Hunting the Lion (Cazando al León), his autobiography No Borders: a Journalist’s Search for Home (Atravesando Fronteras), The Latino Wave (La Ola Latina) and his latest Dying to Cross.
Two more books will be published in 2007 and 2008.
