Bio

Jorge Agobian is an award-winning journalist and multimedia producer with over a decade of experience in leading, producing, and distributing digital and television content. As a bilingual communicator, he has built his career in research, writing, filming, production, and editing across multiple formats, including radio, television to streaming, social media, documentaries and series.

Throughout his career, he has worked as an on-air talent, executive-level producer, and streaming director, combining his passion for audiovisual storytelling and digital strategies with strong leadership skills. His experience in digital production includes creating and leading the streaming unit for Voice of America’s Spanish Service.

From 2019 to 2024, he worked as the White House correspondent for Voice of America, becoming the first Venezuelan journalist to hold this position permanently. His reporting was distinguished by his ability to communicate Washington’s most complex issues in a clear and accessible way, his accuracy, and access to high-level sources—from Washington to Latin American countries.

Passionate about audiovisual production and innovation in digital media, Jorge continues to explore new ways to tell stories, engage audiences, and enhance the impact of multimedia journalism in the digital era.

His work has been published in dozens of media outlets and cited by The New York Times, CBS, CNN, Deutsche Welle, Univision, and others. He has reported live for more than 120 radio and television stations across the United States, Latin America, and Spain.
