Jorge attended several Catholic elementary and high schools, and has stated that he was abused by priests teaching at those schools. He was interested in many activities while growing up, and preferred to spend his spare time outdoors, mostly because he enjoyed playing soccer and basketball with his friends.

Upon matriculating in 1975, Jorge enrolled at Universidad Iberoamericana, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications in 1979; he continued his education at the University of Miami, from which he graduated with a Master’s degree in International Studies in 1983.

In 2007, Jorge was conferred with an honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Richmond.

Career as a journalist

Upon graduating with a Bachelor’s degree, Jorge was employed at XEW-TV, the flagship TV station of the multimedia mass media company Televisa, hosting their show “60 Minutes”; he quit the job after having produced a story which criticized Mexico’s government, but was censored by XEW-TV.

Jorge began working at KMEX-TV in Los Angeles, California in 1984, and three years later was promoted to host the morning show “Mundo Latino”; since 1987, today numbering 35 years, he has been anchoring the nightly Spanish-language show “Noticiero Univision”.

In 1989, Jorge reported on the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the following years saw him cover numerous important events, such as the Salvadoran Civil War which lasted for 12 years, the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union around the same time.

Jorge was there to cover the September 11 attacks in 2001, when two planes hijacked by Islamist terrorists were crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City; two other planes were also hijacked, one of which hit the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, while the second crashed in Shanksville because of a passenger revolt.

During the War in Afghanistan, which lasted from 2001 to 2021, Jorge travelled there on his own as his network wouldn’t send him.

Jorge has interviewed many world leaders, including the former US presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, as well as the former Venezuelan president Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias, the President of Nicaragua Jose Daniel Ortega Saavedra, and the Cuban revolutionary and lawyer Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz.

Jorge’s today writing for a bilingual newspaper which is being published internationally, and can be seen making guest appearance in many MSNBC and CNN shows; polls have revealed that he’s the most influential and trusted Hispanic in America, and is even more popular than the Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira amongst the Latino audiences.

Since 6 September 2018, he has been hosting his own show “Real America with Jorge Ramos”.

Questioning the former US President Donald Trump

On 25 August 2015, Jorge attended Trump’s news conference in Dubuque, Iowa – he had previously studied past conferences, and learned that Trump had always refused to answer questions which he didn’t like, and would simply choose another reporter to ask the next question.

Knowing this, when it was time for Jorge to ask a question, he didn’t let Donald not answer it, and was thus removed from the conference room by Donald’s Head of Security Keith Schiller.

Jorge was allowed to re-enter 15 minutes later, and got into a heated argument with Donald over immigration policies; Jorge also went on to state that Trump was spreading hate with his mass deportation calls.

Inspired by this conference, Jorge created the documentary movie “Hate Rising”; it took him nine months to make it, during which he travelled around the US, and interviewed members of many hate groups, including neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan.

Awards and accolades

Jorge has won a Maria Moors Cabot Prize for Excellence in Journalism, as well as eight Daytime Emmy Awards.

Paola was then raised in Spain by her mother.

Jorge exchanged vows with Lisa Bolivar in 1992, in a private ceremony held at the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista in Puerto Rico. Lisa gave birth to their son Nicolas, but she and Jorge divorced in 2005.
