Today it was announced that FUSION and Univision anchor Jorge Ramos has been named to Fortune’s 2016 World’s Greatest Leaders list. Ramos anchors newscasts on two networks, in two languages, for two audiences – “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos” on the millennial-focused network FUSION in English and Univision’s “Noticiero Univision” and “Al Punto,“ the top-rated Spanish-language newscasts in the U.S. More at Fortune.com here.
“Jorge Ramos is a leader because he has kept immigration on the agenda and continually asked hard questions to politicians about topics that matter to his community,” said Fortune reporter Claire Groden.
Jorge Ramos is one of the most highly respected and recognized journalists in the World. He has received eight Emmy Awards for his work, including his coverage of five wars and many of the most important news stories of the last two decades, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and Hurricane Katrina. Ramos is the author of twelve books and bestsellers and writes a weekly column for more than 40 newspapers in the United States and Latin America distributed by The New York Times Syndicate. Ramos published his latest book, “Take a Stand: Lessons From Rebels,” earlier this month.
This is Fortune’s third annual ranking of the World’s Greatest Leaders. The list recognizes those who are inspiring others to act, to follow them on a worthy quest, and have shown staying power.
