ALBERTO IBARGÜEN, former publisher of the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, is the outgoing president of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, a role he’s held since 2005. It’s perhaps there that he’s made his most significant impact on Miami and its residents, through the organization’s unwavering commitment to promoting informed and engaged communities through the support of free expression, journalism, the arts, and community engagement. During his tenure at the Herald, the paper won three Pulitzer Prizes and El Nuevo Herald won Spain’s Ortega y Gasset Prize for excellence in Spanish-language journalism. For his work to protect journalists in Latin America, he received a Maria Moors Cabot citation from Columbia University. Ibargüen also serves on the boards of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, the National Museum of the American Latino, and the Paley Center for Media. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Philosophical Society.
