Manuel Bojorquez is an Emmy Award-winning journalist who joined CBS News Miami in April 2026. He's no stranger to South Florida, having served as the Miami-based National Correspondent for CBS News for more than a decade.
During those years, Bojorquez reported extensively on major breaking news and events across the Southeast and throughout Latin America. He's covered developments on the ground in Cuba, Venezuela and Haiti as well as gathered reaction from those communities locally in Florida.
He has reported on some of the most difficult stories to come out of the state, including the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting in Parkland and the collapse of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside.
In 2022, Bojorquez was part of "CBS This Morning's" national Emmy win for Outstanding Live News Program. His team's contribution was a two-part series on the dangerous journey Haitian migrants were preparing to make through the Darien Gap to try to reach the United States.
Another series of reports — this time on the first Trump administration's family separation policy at the border — was developed into a one-hour primetime special for CBS, which won a 2020 Kaleidoscope Award.
He was also awarded a Southeast Regional Emmy Award for Live Reporting during his time at WSB-TV in Atlanta. Bojorquez previously reported for KNXV-TV in Phoenix and KESQ-TV in Palm Springs, California. He's a graduate of the University of Southern California, where he was named Outstanding Broadcast Journalist of the Year.
