Very proud to share this special project — it hits close to home for us at D-MAK Productions!

We partnered with our alma mater, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, to produce the official recipient highlight / tribute video for the 42nd Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism. The video honors legendary Spanish-language journalists Jorge Ramos and María Elena Salinas.

This cinematic tribute celebrates their nearly three-decade legacy co-anchoring Noticiero Univision, their groundbreaking contributions to U.S. Spanish-language journalism, and their powerful work empowering Hispanic communities through fearless reporting and civic engagement.

Premiered at the prestigious Cronkite Award Luncheon on February 24, 2026 in Phoenix — one of the most anticipated media events of the year — the video helped celebrate Ramos and Salinas as the first Latino recipients of this highly esteemed award.

For us, this project carries extra meaning: D-MAK Productions founder Danny McManus is a proud graduate of the Walter Cronkite School. Being able to create this tribute for his alma mater made it especially meaningful.
