Presidente Fox Entrega Reconocimientos a Periodistas de EU
SAN ANTONIO, TX. – The Hispanic Media Awards in conjunction with Hispanic PR Wire announced today their “Ring of Honor” and “Journalist in Community Award” winners. The two awards will be granted during the Hispanic Media Awards dinner on May 24th, 2007 at the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, TX. The program honors the nation’s top Spanish and bi-lingual journalists and media personalities from across the country. This year’s keynote speaker will be former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox Quesada.
The “2007 Ring Of Honor” award will be granted to Emilio Nicolas Sr. This lifetime achievement recognition honors the Spanish Language Television Pioneer who was the driving force behind the launch of KWEX-TV. The station was the first in what became the SIN Television Network, the precursor to what is today Univision Communications. The Ring of Honor Award recognizes those who paved the way for today’s successful journalists. Each year at the Hispanic Media Awards dinner one honoree is inducted into this hall of fame. Emilio Nicolas Sr. joins other Ring of Honor Lifetime Achievement award winners like Ignacio Lozano, Founder of La Opinion; Ana Maria Arias, Publisher and Founding Editor of Latina Style; Ruben Salazar, LA Times; Eduardo Porter, previously of the Wall Street Journal and Carlos Ramirez, former publisher of El Diario/La Prensa. He is the first from the Television industry to be inducted into the Ring of Honor.
The 2007 “Journalist in Community Award” winner is Mr. Odilon Arambula of the Laredo Morning Times. After a 30+ year career in Journalism, he became semi-retired in 2004 but continues to write and contribute to his community of Laredo. Mr. Arambula has served his community with involvement in over 30 different civic, fraternal and professional organizations. He still serves today in many capacities including a position on the board of Ruther B. Cowl Rehabilitation Center, an organization he has worked with since 1963 and as the current board President for the South Texas Foodbank. Mr. Arambula has been recognized for his achievements by both regional and national organizations as well as his employer, the Hearst Corporation. The “Journalist in Community Award” recognizes an individual who has shown great devotion to community service and involvement with their readers, viewers, or listeners in that capacity.
On The Edge Promotions., a San Antonio based company that recognizes the growing influence of Spanish-language TV, radio, newspapers, the Internet, and the extraordinary efforts of professionals who contribute their journalistic excellence to keep the U.S. Hispanic community informed, is producing the Hispanic Media Awards. Calls for nominations for this awards program were issued in January and February.
