“Over the past three years, I have had the pleasure of working with
Professor Antonio Morales-Pita. During that time he has been one of the
most effective faculty members at DePaul – and indeed anywhere in
Chicago – in working with the news media. His incredible personal story
and professional experience as a leading economist for the Castro
government give him a unique perspective on many aspects of economic
activity. His energetic and positive attitude and ability to articulate
complex ideas in laymen’s terms also has made him a valued resource for
many members of Chicago’s news media – both Spanish and English
language. Since the publication of his book “Havana-Merida-Chicago” in
2006, Professor Morales-Pita conducted frequent television interviews on
Telemundo, Univisión, WCIU and WEME and MEGATV (Miami). Besides writing
in newspapers, his expertise has been used in international papers,
such as Pravda (of the Slovakian Republic), as well as El Nuevo Herald
(Miami) and the Houston Chronicle. ”
