Leaders in Communications: A Conversation with CNN Anchor Boris Sanchez ’09

Join Boris Sanchez, co-anchor of “CNN News Central,” for a discussion about his career trajectory, reporting experience and topics such as social media, storytelling, the election and more.

Following Sanchez’s coverage of the 2016 riots in Charlotte, North Carolina, CNN won an Edward R. Murrow Award for his leadership.
