Indeed Spanish is spoken very widely, but there is no TV Spanish speaking journalist who is as well known as the likes of Amanpour or Oprah....And being spanish is an advantage, the worldwide possible coverage is huge, spanish is spoken very widely.
I can formulate the question to the Spaniards: BEFORE october 2002, how many of you knew Letizia Ortiz, as an established jourmalist?
At least at a national scale?
I was not saying you were a hater, unfortunately the source of some of the international news you read likely was from someone like Jaime Penafiel since I read similar one from him as well.
If you watched news, you would have known her. Letizia started to become known after hosting the Euro program back in 2000, and won the AP's best journalist under 30 at that year. Before Oct 2002, she was not one of the most established journalists in Spain (she was too young for that), but she was definitely one of the young rising stars. If you watched TVE news, you would notice there were not many new faces the last few years. If she hadn't married Felipe, I'm pretty sure she would become one of the most established ones at 40.
