Chicago, IL (April 22, 2026)<\/strong> \u2013 The National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) has announced its 2026 Hall of Fame class, and NBC 5 Chicago (WMAQ-TV) \/ Telemundo Chicago (WSNS-TV) Senior Vice President of News Sally Ramirez<\/strong> has been selected as one of this year\u2019s distinguished inductees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NAHJ Hall of Fame recognizes trailblazing journalists whose dedication and contributions have paved the way for Latinos in the industry. Honoring a legacy of excellence, the NAHJ Hall of Fame celebrates individuals who have made a lasting impact through their work, mentorship and commitment to accurate and representative coverage of Latino communities. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am deeply honored and humbled to be inducted into the NAHJ Hall of Fame,\u201d said Ramirez. \u201cNAHJ represents a legacy of journalists who have expanded opportunity, elevated coverage, and insisted that our communities be seen and heard with depth, accuracy, and truth. This recognition belongs to the mentors who opened doors, the colleagues who challenged me, and the journalists, both past and present, who continue pushing our industry forward and building what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThroughout her decorated career, Sally\u2019s vision has shaped journalists, strengthened newsrooms, and ensured our communities always receive the thoughtful, trusted reporting they deserve,\u201d said Kevin Cross<\/strong>, President\/General Manager, NBCUniversal Local Chicago. \u201cBeing welcomed into the NAHJ Hall of Fame not only reflects Sally\u2019s extraordinary achievements, but also the profound influence she continues to have on journalism across the local and national landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSally\u2019s dedicated leadership and passion for journalism has served communities, inspired newsrooms and developed considerable talent throughout her impressive career in local and national news,\u201d added Jose Cancela<\/strong>, President of Telemundo Station Group. \u201cHer induction into the NAHJ Hall of Fame is a very deserved recognition of the transformative impact she has made and for her commitment to our industry and its people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 30 years of local\/national broadcast journalism experience, Ramirez returned to her hometown of Chicago, Ill. in 2023 to restructure and lead the newsrooms at two of the city\u2019s most respected media properties: NBC 5 Chicago and Telemundo Chicago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to joining NBC 5 Chicago & Telemundo Chicago, Ramirez was Executive Producer for CNBC\u2019s The News with Shepard Smith<\/em>, where she led newsgathering and production. In addition to increasing viewership, Ramirez artfully established successful relationships with multiple NBCUniversal national and international news outlets, enabling \u201cThe News with Shepard Smith\u201d to be the first program in NBCUniversal News Group history to utilize content from all properties and platforms in one evening newscast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2016-2020, Ramirez was the Executive News Director at KHOU-TV in Houston, Texas, where she transformed newsroom culture, focusing on innovative and interactive content. Ramirez also successfully led her team through the massive challenges of Hurricane Harvey, which destroyed the TV station and required an immediate relocation to a temporary broadcast facility. Through her resilience and vision, Ramirez designed and transitioned KHOU into a state-of-the-art news operation, allowing the station to better serve modern audiences across multiple devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to her life-changing stint in Houston, Ramirez spent 17 years as Executive Producer, then Assistant News Director at KGW-TV in Portland, Ore. Earlier, she held several editorial and management positions across the country, including as Executive Producer at Chicago\u2019s WGN-TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramirez is the recipient of numerous industry awards, including five Edward R. Murrow Awards, four Emmy Awards and the Alfred I. du-Pont-Columbia University Award, among others. In addition, in 2025,, she earned the \u201cChicago Latina of the Year\u201d award via Chicago Latina Magazine & Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramirez is a bilingual, first-generation Mexican-American who grew up in Chicago\u2019s Bridgeport neighborhood and is a graduate of Whitney M. Young Magnet High School. She earned her bachelor\u2019s degree in communications at DePaul University, where she received the \u201cDistinguished Alumni Award\u201d from DePaul\u2019s Center for Journalism Integrity & Excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramirez, along with Noticias Telemundo <\/em>\/ NBC Nightly News Saturday <\/em>anchor Jos\u00e9 D\u00edaz-Balart<\/strong>, San Francisco Chronicle photo\/video journalist Carlos Avila Gonzalez<\/strong> and PBS Public Editor Ricardo Sandoval-Palos<\/strong>,will be officially be inducted into the 2026 Hall of Fame class at the NAHJ Hall of Fame Gala on Saturday, July 25, during the 2026 NAHJ Conference & Expo in New Orleans, La.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
