Univision anchors Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas were this year’s recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Emmy. Diane Sawyer, who is now their colleague care of a joint venture with ABC News, gave Ramos and Salinas their Emmys, delivering a tribute peppered with “Rosetta Stone level one” Spanish. Sawyer characterized them as “film pioneers and advocates” and noted Ramos’ “near biblical authority” in the Hispanic community and Salinas’ dedication to social advocacy for immigrants. A film of the anchors’ more than 25 years together prompted Salinas to remark that it “was an amazing video of 30 years of hair ‘dos.” Ramos, who first came to the United States from Mexico on a student visa in 1983, noted that Hispanics are “60 million strong and changing the face of America.” “Not a lot of people are aware of that, including the Commission on Presidential Debates,” he said, referring to the Commission’s decision not to include a Hispanic anchor among its presidential debated moderators. Salinas added that being the first Hispanics to receive the organization’s Lifetime Achievement award “tells us that news is news regardless of what language it’s delivered in.”
