Jim Avila Biography

Jim Avila is the Senior National Correspondent at ABC News and White House correspondent for Fusion, the ABC/Univision joint venture that launched in 2013. In this role, he covers Hispanic America, immigration reform, education, politics, and other issues vitally important to the Latino community, the fastest-growing segment of our population. He continues to contribute to "20/20" and other ABC broadcasts and platforms, specializing in law, justice, and consumer investigations.

Throughout 2011 and 2012, Avila’s reporting on food, drug, consumer, transportation, environmental, and other regulatory issues made a tangible difference in the lives of viewers. A versatile reporter, he has broken big stories since joining ABC News in 2004. Avila has also been recognized multiple times for his excellence in reporting, earning a National Emmy Award for his coverage of the destruction of Grand Forks North Dakota by flood and fire, and another Emmy for covering the fate of undocumented workers during the southern California wildfires in 2008. Furthermore, he has received five Edward R. Murrow Awards for his coverage of September 11, the DC Sniper attacks, and the War in Iraq. In 1999, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists honored him with the TV News Feature Award.

Avila shares his insights with audiences on the role of the media in shaping public opinion and policies related to immigration as an important social and political topic, as well as the direct impact on immigrant communities. He also discusses the importance of diversity in the boardroom, how different perspectives invite quality solutions, and the other benefits it offers. His expertise extends to issues such as the importance of diverse perspectives in creating effective solutions and policies.
