This week Cablefax celebrated its Program Awards at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, which recognize the “fearless winners” who represent those who create amazing content and the experts who deliver it to the viewers.
Fusion’s Jorge Ramos was recognized in the Best Host for News/Public Affairs category for his role anchoring “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos” on Fusion. “Time and again, Ramos proves that he’s one of the most exciting TV journalists working today—not because of his charm and good looks (both of which he has in spades), but because he asks the kind of questions that most reporters simply won’t… opinionated or not, Ramos always fights for the truth and makes no secrets about his point of view as he tackles some of the toughest issues affecting both Hispanic and non-Hispanic audiences,” Cablefax said.
Jorge Ramos co-hosted “The View” on ABC to promote his English-language newsmagazine “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos,” which airs Tuesdays at 10:00 p.m. on Fusion.

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) announced today that Jorge Ramos, renowned broadcast television journalist for Univision and now Fusion, will receive the NAB Distinguished Service Award during the 2014 NAB Show in Las Vegas.

Jorge Ramos is one of the most influential journalists in news today. He’s been dubbed the Walter Cronkite of Hispanic media – a title he’s earned by taking on people in power over signature concerns like immigration, gun control and equality. Now, on Fusion, he brings that unique, raw and authentic sensibility to an English-speaking audience. On “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos,” he takes a bold and uncompromising look at the issues that matter most to young Americans.
“AMERICA with Jorge Ramos” airs Tuesday nights at 10:00 p.m., ET on Fusion. Ramos also anchors “Noticiero Univision” and “Al Punto” on Univision.
Jorge Ramos is the most-watched Spanish-language broadcaster in the U.S. Last year he ventured into the English-language media world for the first time with his Fusion news-magazine “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos.”
New York magazine spent 167 minutes with Ramos on a day where he was taping segments for his Fusion program “AMERICA” and anchoring Univision’s evening newscast “Noticiero Univision.” The reporter Reid Cherlin notes – “Thirty years later, Ramos is the undisputed face of Spanish-language broadcasting, his career arc coinciding with a boom in the sector.”
On his role as a journalist and leader in the Latino community Ramos told Cherlin: “the Latino community expects from us much more than just news. They expect from us leadership. And they expect from us somehow to represent them.”
When the evening’s newscast ends at seven, after a drug-trafficking story and the nightly countdown to the World Cup, Ramos will cheerily slip into the South Florida heat with his jacket over his arm. But it has been a busy day: He’s also taped an installment of America, a newsmagazine he hosts on Fusion, the English-language network that Univision launched in October in partnership with ABC. At the moment, the rapid growth of Latinos in this country is fueled not by immigrants but by the American-born children of immigrants. Univision executives realized that this younger group is more comfortable getting its news in English, and they launched Fusion as a direct response to the trend. (The network recently announced plans to target non-Latino millennials, too.)
… With Fusion, Ramos hopes his clout will grow beyond the Latino community. “What I really like is that for the first time, I don’t need translation,” he says. “And without translation, there’s an immediate impact. And definitely the language of power is English.” He mentions an interview with Senator Patty Murray of Washington earlier in the day about pregnant immigrants being held in detention centers by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Even before we aired the story, ICE sent us an email rectifying the information that we were going to broadcast,” he says. “Had we done the same thing in Spanish, we wouldn’t have gotten any reaction.”
Special Edition of “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos” to Feature Interviews with CIA Director John Brennan, Sen. Rand Paul, CIA Analysts, and Key Players in the Snowden Saga
Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos goes inside one of the most secretive agencies in the U.S. government to explore how the intelligence agency is recruiting the next generation of agents and adapting in a post-Snowden era. “Agents of Change: An AMERICA Special” will air Tuesday, June 3 at 10:00 p.m., ET on Fusion. The Fusion special comes one-year after Edward Snowden released what has become one of the largest leaks of classified information in modern American history.
In an exclusive interview, Ramos talks to CIA Director John Brennan and Ron Patrick, who oversees the agency’s recruitment, about the mission and reputation of the CIA post-Snowden. They also weigh in on the future of the CIA and how the agency plans to capture the hearts and minds of younger, more technologically in-tuned recruits. In addition, viewers will hear from one of the most vocal critics of the American surveillance state in Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
To get a sense of what life is like in the CIA, Ramos talks to a group of young CIA analysts as well as Justin Jackson, the former Deputy Director for the National Clandestine Service and a 30-year CIA veteran, and Director of the CIA’s Center for Mission Diversity Carmen Middleton who explains how hiring new faces with different opinions actually benefits the organization.
Plus, Fusion talks to several of the key players in the Snowden saga including the The Guardian’s former columnist Glenn Greenwald, The Washington Post’s Barton Gellman, The Guardian’s Defense and Security Correspondent Ewen MacAskill, The Guardian’s U.S. National Security Editor Spencer Ackerman, Washington Post National Security Correspondent Greg Miller, “Dragnet Nation” Author Julia Angwin, and ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero.
On Thursday, Fusion’s Jorge Ramos went to Washington DC seeking answers on why there continues to be inaction on immigration reform in Congress. Ramos asked tough questions of both Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) as well as Democrats.
Jorge Ramos spoke with Rachel Maddow about how he confronted the leaders of the House and Senate on not moving immigration reform legislation. Watch below –
Mike Allen highlighted the Politico profile of Fusion’s Jorge Ramos in his daily Playbook:
THE JUICE - “Anchor with attitude: Jorge Ramos fights for immigration reform,” by Dylan Byers: “Jorge Ramos, the most popular Hispanic news anchor in America, arrived in Washington recently on an unusual journalistic mission: He wanted to challenge Speaker John Boehner about why he’s ‘blocking’ immigration reform. … 'Republicans don’t get it. They’re going to lose the 2016 election if they don’t move on immigration reform, and they’re going to lose again in 2020,’ Ramos said in an interview. 'They have a very short memory. They forgot in 2012. They’ll remember after 2016.’ …
"More than any other media figure, Ramos, 56, is the conduit between Washington politics and Hispanic America, population 55 million and growing. His Univision newscast is the most-watched Spanish-language news program in the United States, with an average viewership of 2.1 million. Last year, he expanded his audience with an English-language broadcast on Fusion, the Univision-ABC News joint venture targeted toward Hispanics and millennials. All this exposure has made him the second-most-popular Hispanic in the United States, trailing only Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, according to a recent Pew Research report surveying Latinos. …
”[T]he candidates will have to come to him if they want to win in 2016, he says, and he’s more than ready to hold them to account. 'Immigration reform is a prerequisite for the Hispanic community… Without that, nothing is going to happen,’ he said. 'If you want to go to the White House, you have to knock on the door of Univision and Fusion before. Because otherwise, you won’t get there.’“http://goo.gl/aotsnk

Long Island University (LIU) has recognized FUSION, along with the partner organizations working with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, with a George Polk Award for its reporting on the Panama Papers. The investigation is being recognized in the financial journalism category.
The Panama Papers marks one of the largest investigations in journalism history with more than 100 media partners and 400 journalists collaborating on the reporting. The papers are a trove of leaked documents from inside Mossack Fonseca, a Panama-based law firm that creates offshore companies to hide financial activities of the rich and powerful. A leak to Germany’s Sueddeutsche Zeitung of 11.5 million documents involving 210,000 companies was shared with CPI’s International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which coordinated investigative work with media partners such as McClatchy, FUSION, The Guardian, Le Monde and others.
As one of the few English-language partners in the United States,
FUSION produced a series of digital reports as well as a one hour documentary “The Naked Truth: Dirty Little Secrets.” That reporting is available here.
The Polk Awards honor and celebrate the impact of courageous and authentic journalism on our national and global discourse.
