Fernando López 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 hosts that network's prime-time newscast Panorama USA and also serves as main anchor and producer of Conclusiones.
[1][2] 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.
[3] In 2014, del Rincón was accused by Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela, of broadcasting reports that encouraged civil unrest in that country.
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.
"He is doing war reportage," said Maduro of del Rincón, who at the time was reporting from Venezuela for CNN en Español.
Del Rincon responded that he found Maduro's remarks “juvenile” but added that for a journalist, being mentioned personally by a head of state is like "gold", and for that "distinction" he was grateful to the president.
[19] In 2011 and 2013, the magazine People en Español named him the best Spanish-speaking news anchor in the U.S.[20][21][22] He has been married twice, the second time to fellow journalist Carmen Dominicci, from whom he divorced on 2008.
