The Final Say: Roberto Suro

Roberto Suro grew up in the United States listening to stories about his mother’s family-owned newspaper, El Telegrafo, in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He would hear tales of his great-grandfather being jailed over a news story, then sneaking editorials out of jail. Mr. Suro decided to follow in the family trade, embarking on a 30-year career in journalism that featured tenures at The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Time Magazine. In 2000, his career path changed. He left journalism to launch, as its director, the Pew Hispanic Center, focusing his efforts on producing research about the growing U.S. Hispanic population. In 2006, he accepted an offer to return to journalism as a professor at the USC Annenberg School of Journalism to help mold future journalists.”*
