Fernando del Rincón

Luis Fernando del Rincón (Morelos, Mexico, 18 August 1969) is a Mexican television presenter who is well known throughout Latin America and by the Latino community in the U.S. He has worked at both Telemundo and Univision, and since 2010 has been employed by CNN en Español, based in Atlanta, Georgia. He hosts that network’s prime-time newscast Panorama USA and also serves as main anchor and producer of Conclusiones.

Originally widely branded as a "pretty boy" who was offered acting jobs on telenovelas, del Rincón later did hard-hitting journalism about drug trafficking and other subjects that resulted in death threats. In 2014, del Rincón was accused by Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela, of broadcasting reports that encouraged civil unrest in that country.

Del Rincón has twice been named by the magazine People en Español as the best Spanish-speaking news anchor in the U.S.

He was born in the Mexican state of Morelos in 1969. As a child he wanted to be a marine biologist. He began his media career in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, a city in the state of Chiapas. Del Rincón himself has said that his interest in journalism began when he heard a group of indigenous persons speaking in what he thought was a language unknown to him. It turned out to be a dialect of Spanish, and he felt ashamed that he did not know that it was a dialect, and wanted to know about it. This shame and curiosity led him to study journalism. He received a degree in social communication from the Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey in 1992.
