Newsman Ramos Honored

Univision newsman Jorge Ramos accepted the Broadcasting & Cable/Multichannel News Lifetime of Achievement in Hispanic Television award, less than two weeks before what he called the biggest election in American history — the outcome of which he says will hinge on the rapidly expanding Hispanic community. “Nobody can make it to the White House without Univision,” Ramos, anchor of Noticiero Univisión, said in his acceptance speech. “That’s how simple it is. If Barack Obama or John McCain want to win Florida or Nevada, they have to talk to us.”
