Jacobo Zabludovsky — journalist (tv anchor) with roots in the Russian Empire
Jacobo Zabludovsky was a Mexican television journalist, born in Mexico City in 1928, who anchored 24 Horas, the main news programme of the Televisa network, from 1970 to 1998. He had been radio and television coordinator for presidents López Mateos and Díaz Ordaz and was closely associated with the PRI government. He was criticised over the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre: his report after 2 October 1968 was about the sunny weather in Mexico City.
Tracing the roots — Poland (town not documented)
His parents, David Zabludovsky and Raquel Kravesky, were Polish Jewish immigrants to Mexico. No town or date of their emigration is recorded, so it is not established whether they left Russian-ruled Congress Poland, Austrian Galicia or interwar Poland.
