... that Gloria Rojas, one of the first Latina broadcast journalists in New York City, helped launch the career of Geraldo Rivera? Source: “ Gloria Rojas, who was billed as New York City’s first Latina broadcast journalist when she was hired by WCBS-TV in 1968, and who went on to work as a journalist for every major network affiliate in the city for 23 years” “ In addition to being a trailblazer herself, Ms. Rojas was credited with helping to launch the broadcasting career of a 20-something antipoverty lawyer when she told him that WABC was seeking a bilingual reporter. In 1970, the station hired the young lawyer, Geraldo Rivera, who later became a national TV host and commentator.” The New York Times
Interesting life, fine expansion, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I am sorry not to know Rivera, but may be the only one. Willing to approve anyway if you want, or do you have something to say that is closer to her? - The article would profit from more lead and an infobox, but not necessary for approval. The fist sentences of early life mention her and her parents last name a bit too often for my taste, but same. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:37, 4 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Sorry Gerda! I fixed the mention of her last name in the early life section. Should I add Rivera’s occupation before his name to clarify who he is? Thriley (talk) 17:33, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
