Gabriel Sama
Managing Editor, Core


Gabriel Sama is our Managing Editor in charge of the core editorial operations, managing a team of professional journalists with years of experience in the highest levels of American and Latin American journalism.

Sama worked in the Spanish edition of the Wall Street Journal from 2001 to 2004, a period of market turmoil and social unrest that included the Enron scandal and the terrorist attacks in New York City. Sama covered the Hispanic market in the U.S. and published several articles on the subject in the main edition of the WSJ, but spent most of his time working for the Spanish edition of the financial paper, which is published in more than two dozen Latin American newspapers.

In 2000, Sama graduated with honors from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, the only non-native English speaker in his class to do so that year. He received the New Media Workshop award from the school and, after graduation, worked as editor in chief at MiContacto.com, an Internet startup in New York City.

Until 1999 Sama was Editorial Director of Editorial Televisa’s Quo magazine, a publication that he launched in Mexico in November of 1997. There, he supervised and coordinated the whole editorial operation, working closely with the marketing and advertising departments at Editorial Televisa, the largest Spanish language publishing company in the world. Gabriel took Quo from 12,000 sold magazines on its first few editions to more than 80,000 magazines sold in his last number at the magazine.

Sama has also published stories and articles in Chile, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Belgium and the U.S. on several subjects.
