Ysabel Duron is an award-winning journalist with more than 30 years in television broadcasting.  In 1997 she was inducted into the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ “Silver Circle” for more than 27 years of meritorious work as a journalist.

Much of Duron’s career has been in the Bay Area, and she has won many accolades from community and Latino groups.  But her journalism interests have also taken her beyond the Bay Area to Mexico, Chile and Argentina as a board member of the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF), working to create a network of Latina journalists. The IWMF, based in Washington, D.C., works to empower female journalists around the world, believing the world is not truly free unless women have a full voice.

A native of Salinas, California, Duron received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from San José State University.  She was named one of America’s top 100 Hispanic Women in Communications by Hispanic USA Magazine.  In addition to the IWMF, she is also a member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
