Rain or Shine, El Tiempo Latino is There From: news.ncmonline.com

Miguel Guilarte never thought that running the D.C. Marathon would make him the Sports Editor of the Spanish newspaper El Tiempo Latino (Latino Times.)

Looking through the window of his seventh–floor office at the paper’s headquarters in Arlington, Va., Guilarte remembers the first day when he opened the door of the newsroom. He was applying for a job as an accountant at the Sales Department.

Gularte came to the United States eight years ago from Caracas, Venezuela to study English. He was an accounting manager for the Transportation Authority in Caracas. When he met with the editor-in-chief at the job interview, Guilarte accidentally mentioned that he was a little tired because the previous day he had ran the marathon. The editor then asked him if he wanted to be a sports reporter.”*
