... 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.”

5x expanded by Thriley ( talk) and 20chances ( talk). Nominated by Thriley ( talk) at 07:38, 28 February 2022 (UTC). reply

comment hook says "first", source says "billed as first" and article says "one of the first"... Victuallers ( talk) 19:25, 1 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Just dropped a series of references and copyedits to this page. It needed both. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:17, 1 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Thank you both. I changed the hook slightly. Thriley ( talk) 23:54, 1 March 2022 (UTC) reply
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

no response?? I approve that then, but am open to something better, Thriley. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:31, 16 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

No it's fine, I may be the only who doesn't know him. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:39, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Ok, thank you. Thriley ( talk) 17:52, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
