Jorge Ramos is giving Univision’s evening news a “see you later” after nearly 40 years of headline-hopping and news-navigating!
At the spry age of 66, this journalistic legend is packing up his news desk but don’t worry—he’s not taking an early retirement to master the art of napping just yet. No, Jorge will be sticking around until December, and then he’ll unveil his secret plans for world domination… or just what he’s doing next, which is probably less dramatic but still exciting.
Jorge let his coworkers know with a note that’s basically the grown-up version of “I’m not leaving, I’m just going on a really long vacation” (but with more words and fewer beach balls). He’s super thankful for the four decades at Univision and feels like he’s been part of a team that’s been as steady as a coffee addict’s morning routine.
Univision’s statement was as polite as a well-trained cat: the anchor and the network have decided not to renew their “contract agreement” because, well, everyone needs a change of scenery now and then.
Daniel Coronell, the president of the network’s news division, expressed his gratitude for Jorge’s contributions with all the enthusiasm of someone who just won a lifetime supply of tacos. He assured us that as they look ahead to 2025 and beyond, their team is more than capable of continuing the journalistic excellence Jorge helped define.
Since 1987, Jorge has been the co-anchor of Noticiero Univision, and he’s been lovingly nicknamed “The Walter Cronkite of Latin America,” which sounds like a superhero title and probably comes with a cape.
