Miguel Marquez (born 1967) is a national correspondent for CNN, currently based in CNN's New York Offices.
His earlier journalistic positions have included stints with WNBC-TV in New York City (1998–1999) and KSAZ-TV in Phoenix, Arizona (1999–2002). He then worked for a short time as an anchor at Headline News, before transferring to CNN as a Los Angeles-based correspondent in March 2003, where he worked until 2005. In May 2005 he joined ABC News' Los Angeles bureau, covering everything from the entertainment industry to the seemingly-endless California wildfires, often spending extended periods on assignment in Iraq. He later moved to ABC News' London bureau in 2008 where he was posted until 2011.[1] In February 2012, Marquez rejoined CNN as a correspondent in their Los Angeles bureau, eventually moving to the New York City bureau as a national correspondent.[2]
Raised in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, Marquez earned an associate degree from the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of New Mexico and a master's in international affairs from Columbia University.[3]
Marquez initially got his start in the news industry at CBS News as a national desk assistant for the "CBS Evening News," "48 Hours" and "60 Minutes."
Marquez is a member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association.[4]
Marquez was attacked by Bahraini police forces while covering the 2011 Bahraini protests in Pearl square, bravely continuing with a phone call report to ABC News in New York as he was targeted: "There was a canister that looked like -- No! No! No! Hey! I'm a journalist here! I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! ... I'm hit."[5]
