Madam and mister American newspaper publishers, temporarily tear down your paywalls until Election Day. Do it for our Democracy.

I first met Michael Bloomberg when he held his farewell swan song Christmas Party for The NYC Press Corps at Gracie Mansion. https://www.bloomberg.com/company/

This has been the heaviest week for the bad news I can recall and since I closely follow journalism developments, I like others agree that the news dam is breaking and some Americans fear that as Election Day grows near, that the next few months may become progressively crazier, including more blood, sweat, and tears.

As the USA could possibly become a new hub of the outbreak, according to the World Health Organization, Americans need to hear from real physicians and medical experts, not spin doctors. The public should not be watching a government response to the COVID-19 pandemic through partisan eyes but with a microscope. USA taxpayers must insist on being the priority, not the major corporations which received a stimulus package and used it to buy back stocks. The average American is the one who pays taxes and they should insist on being the focus of a massive payback.
Senior executive management position in media education. With decades of experience producing and directing across commercial, nonprofit, government, and academic media organizations, including NBC, Univision, Telemundo, Voice of America, AP, and others.
I offer strategic oversight, editorial judgment, and cross-platform expertise needed to excel in this role.
Throughout my career spanning newscasts, public affairs programs, and long-form documentary news magazines in both English and Spanish, I have developed precisely the skill set PBS seeks: the ability to manage complex projects across multiple stakeholders, maintain rigorous editorial standards, and deliver compelling content that serves the public interest. My experience bridges the worlds of daily news production and documentary storytelling, positioning me to guide programming from development through final delivery.
As a news manager and field producer, I have consistently coordinated between editorial teams, technical departments, and external partners to ensure projects meet deadlines without compromising quality or standards. I understand the unique demands of working with independent producers, the importance of compliance review, and the value of proactive communication across departments—from legal and standards to digital and promotional teams. My multilingual capabilities and work across diverse media environments have given me a nuanced understanding of content development, audience needs, and the careful attention required when handling sensitive or complex subject matter.
What draws me to PBS is the organization's unwavering commitment to substantive journalism, educational programming, and stories that deepen public understanding of our world. After years in commercial broadcasting, I am eager to apply my expertise to programming that prioritizes depth over ratings, context over speed, and public service over profit. The opportunity to work on PBS's distinguished slate of news, current affairs, and history programs—from investigative documentaries to historical explorations—aligns perfectly with my professional values and experience.
I am particularly equipped to serve as the critical bridge between producers and PBS's internal departments, having spent years navigating the complexities of multi-departmental coordination in fast-paced newsrooms. I bring strong analytical skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm and productive under deadline pressure while managing multiple projects simultaneously. My editorial background ensures I can effectively screen content, identify potential issues, and work collaboratively with producers to maintain PBS's high standards. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my extensive experience in bilingual news and documentary programming can contribute to PBS's mission of providing trusted, high-quality content to the American public.
