Ysabel Duron, Senior Weekend Anchor, KRON-4 TV

Ysabel Duron is an award-winning journalist who celebrated 40 years in television news broadcasting this past September. In June 2009 she was inducted into the National Association of Hispanic Journalist's Hall of Fame. The senior anchor of the KRON 4 Weekend Morning News in San Francisco for the past 20 years, Duron was one of the first Latinas to work in mainstream television breaking through in 1971 in the San Francisco Bay Area in what was mostly a white male domain.

As a Latina, she has been a role model to and influenced many young Latinas; been named both a Latina Pioneer by the La Raza Media Association of the Bay Area, and received a Living Legacy Award from the Chicana-Latina Foundation of San Francisco. She received the President's Award from the National Association of Hispanic Journalists in 2006 for her journalism and community work around issues of cancer. She is featured in a 2008 publication, Building the Latino Future, Success Stories for the Next Generation by authors, Frank Carbajal and Humberto Madrid. Throughout her career, Duron has turned the spotlight on Latino issues as well as culture, political battles, educational challenges, health needs and labor conflicts. Her own 1998 battle with cancer was turned into an award winning series that touched on treatment, support and research issues. As a result she created a non-profit, Latinas Contra Cancer. The agency will celebrate 8 years of survivorship this year. LCC offers a Spanish language support group as well as case management, patient navigation, educational workshops and a bilingual resource website.
