Ramos is co-anchor of Univision’s award-winning evening-news program, Noticiero Univision, and also hosts Al Punto, the Spanish-language network’s Sunday-morning political talk show, which features exclusive interviews with prominent newsmakers, as well as a roundtable analysis of current events.
Ramos also hosted political forums with Democratic and Republican presidential candidates in Spanish and co-hosted one debate with CNN.

“We at Multichannel News and Broadcasting & Cable are thrilled and honored that Jorge Ramos has accepted our invitation to receive this award,” publisher Larry Dunn said in a statement.
“Jorge Ramos is most certainly deserving of this industry acknowledgement as he is highly regarded by his colleagues in both Spanish- and English-language television,” Dunn added. “But, perhaps he is most deserving because of his professional approach to the news, which is reflected by his popularity with his loyal viewers.”
