In announcing this new column, El Diario publisher Rossana Rosado declared that Borrero understood the city in a way that the paper's Latin America-trained reporters did not.

For over a decade he has appeared with WABC Radio's Curtis Sliwa on a weekly show, as part of the Time Warner Cable News program, Inside City Hall.

In this manner, from April through Election Day 2016, Borrero and HITN encouraged U.S. voter participation by educating the Spanish-speaking community, nationwide, about the complex U.S. electoral system.
