[While I am more time away from Mexico, I feel more Mexican]
Jorge Ramos is a Jornalist from Mexico. He lives in Miami. He works for Univision, an Hispanic Network. Jorge Ramos is an immigrant. He came to the United States as a student in 1983. In November 1986, at age 28, he became one of the youngest national news anchors in thehistory of American television. Since then, he has been called “the voice of the voiceless” for other immigrants like him.
Jorge Ramos has been called "Star newscaster of Hispanic TV" and "Hispanic TV's No. 1 ccorrespondent 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 . 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.”
He is the author of ten books and bestsellers: “Behind the Mask”, “What I Saw”, “The
Other Face of America”, “Hunting the Lion”, his autobiography “No Borders: a Journalist’s Search for Home”, “The Latino Wave”, “Dying to Cross”, “The Gift of Time; Letters from a Father”, and the children’s book “I’m Just Like My Dad/I’m Just
Like My Mom” (HarperCollins) and “A Country for All; An Immigrant Manifesto”.
Ramos has been instrumental in promoting literacy among Latinos. In 2002 he created the first book club in the history of Hispanic television: Despierta Leyendo (Wake Up Reading).
From his childhood days in Mexico, to his experience of censorship in government–owned Mexican media companies, his student years in LA, and his early beginnings as a journalist in the USA, Ramos gives us a personal and touching account of his life.
He is my role model in Journalism.
