Fernando, who will now be based in Washington, D.C., will be in charge of leading AP’s video newsgathering operation as the news cooperative expands its video coverage across Latin America.
Besides increasing the number of regional stories available to Latin American broadcasters, he will lead an operation that also serves the needs of AP’s wider network of global video customers.
A native of Uruguay, Fernando worked for a production company that assisted AP Television News on large assignments in Latin America before joining AP in Havana.
