Juan Manuel "John" Quiñones (born May 23, 1952) is an American ABC News correspondent who hosts What Would You Do?

Early life and education

Quiñones was born in San Antonio, Texas, on May 23, 1952.[2]

While attending Brackenridge High School in San Antonio, Quiñones was selected to take part in a federal anti-poverty program, Upward Bound, which prepared inner-city high school students for college.[2] As an undergraduate, Quiñones was also a member of the Sigma Beta-Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. After graduating from St. Mary's with a Bachelor of Arts degree in speech communication, Quiñones earned a Master of Arts degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.[1]

Career

Quiñones worked as a radio news editor at KTRHinHouston, Texas from 1975 to 1978[1] and also worked as an anchor and reporter for KPRC-TV. He later reported for WBBM-TVinChicago. In 1982, Quiñones started as a general assignment correspondent with ABC News based in Miami.[1]

According to communications attorney Mark Lloyd, "Quiñones told the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) audience that he got his start because a San Antonio community organization threatened that if the stations didn't hire more Latinos, the group would go to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and challenge their licenses."[3]
