From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the anchor on Telemundo, see Jorge L. Ramos.
Jorge Ramos (born March 16, 1958) is a Mexican anchor of Noticiero Univision.
Ramos joined Univision in 1985. He has interviewed multiple world leaders including Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Hugo Chávez and many others.
Ramos started working at a radio station in Mexico City. However, he left his country (Mexico) when the biggest Mexican television network censored a report he had made. During this time, many journalists took bribes and accepted censorship from the authoritarian government that existed. Ramos refused to be one of them and decided to head north.
He came to the United States with a student visa in 1983. The first job he took was waiting tables. Finally, in 1984, he received the opportunity to join an affiliate of Univision in Los Angeles. Two years after he became the morning host for the show "Mundo Latino".
He became one of the youngest national anchormen in the history of American television at the age of 28, in November 1986. Since this happened, he has been called the "voice of the voiceless" for other immigrants such as himself.
Ramos attended the Ibero-American University in México City where he majored in Communication. He then received his Master's degree from the University of Miami in International Studies.
He works alongside Univision colleagues María Elena Salinas and Enrique Gratas.
