“Forbidden Puerto Rico - An AMERICA Special” Airs Tuesday, September 16 at 10:00 p.m.
Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos travels to one of the most exciting places in the Caribbean: Puerto Rico. Identified as an unincorporated territory of the United States, Jorge explores the food, music, and culture the bustling island has to offer – from learning how to skateboard in the notorious La Perla and zip lining 900 feet high above the Puerto Rican rain forests to hearing about the island’s economic and political situation from the younger generation. Puerto Rico has undergone a dramatic population shift over the past several years – there are now over a million more Puerto Ricans on the United States’ mainland than the island of Puerto Rico itself, according to Pew Research Center.
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.
Jorge Ramos co-hosted “The View" on ABC today to promote his English-language newsmagazine on FUSION, “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos,” which debuts in its new timeslot tomorrow, Tuesday March 18 at 10:00 p.m.
Ramos talked with the ladies about his very modern family including his relationship with Chiquinquira Delgado, who hosts the Spanish-language version of “Dancing with the Stars” – “Mira Quien Baila,” and their blended family. Chiqui has two daughters ages 21 and 3 while Jorge has a son Nicolas, 15, and daughter Paola, 26.
2162162216When asked how they keep up with the 3 year-old Ramos said “you have to stay with a lot of energy and optimism… we gotta stay young.” “I do yoga, tennis and I still play football every single Saturday morning, which by the way is soccer – football in espanol,” he told Barbara Walters.
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.”
It was his first newscast of 2014 and Jorge Ramos is already generating headlines with news-making interviews on his Fusion show “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos.”
On Monday night Ramos spoke to Phil Schiliro who was brought back to the White House last month to help oversee the roll out of the Affordable Care Act. The interview was featured Tuesday morning in Politico’s widely read PLAYBOOK as well as cited by the USA Today, The Hill, and Washington Examiner among other outlets.

Jorge Ramos, who anchors Fusion’s “AMERICA with Jorge Ramos" as well as "Noticiero Univision” and “Al Punto” on Univision,was ranked among the top stars in the Latino community along with his Univision News colleague Teresa Rodriguez (co-anchor of “Aqui y Ahora”).
There are more than 50 million Latinos in the U.S., according to the latest census. That’s 16 percent of the population, and by 2018, one in five Americans will be of Hispanic descent.
Marketers increasingly are keen to connect to this growing demographic that not only is young – already Latinos account for one in four people under age 18 – but also responsible for more than $1 trillion in spending power. So who are the biggest stars in the Latino community?“

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.
