Noche de Periodistas 2025 was truly unforgettable — a night that broke attendance records, set a new benchmark for sponsorship support, and showcased the power of our growing NAHJ-DC familia. Our community continues to expand, uplift one another, and create pathways for current Latino journalists and future ones.

A heartfelt thank you to our members, sponsors, and to Ambassador of Perú Alfredo Ferrero for opening the doors of his residence.

The evening was emceed by Ed O’Keefe of CBS News, as we proudly introduced our madame presidenta, Claudia Uceda of TelevisaUnivision, and her exceptional team: María Curi, Vice President – Axios; Angelica Franganillo Diaz, Secretary – CNN; Simone De Alba, Treasurer – WUSA9; and Jason Zaragoza, At-Large Officer – National Press Foundation.

We also honored Felix Contreras, co-host of NPR’s Alt.Latino, with our MVP Award for his remarkable contributions to Latino storytelling and culture.

Our Student Outreach Committee Chair, Priscilla Alvarez of CNN, announced the Fall 2025 Charlie Ericksen Internship Supplement recipient: Maya Rosado — a dedicated student beginning her path in journalism.
