MARÍA ELENA SALINAS: A MOTHER WITH NO SECRETS -- Page 52 Univision’s Aqui y Ahora anchor Maria Elena Salinas is celebrating 25 years as a prominent TV news anchor. But, how does she raise her children in a world full of bad news? She starts by keeping the lines of communication open, never keeping secrets and monitoring what her daughters consume. “I didn’t let them watch anything related to the Michael Jackson trial, because a lot of it was too intense for their ages. But, last year, when a criminal escaped in Miami, I sat down with them and told them that we had to be very careful,” explains Salinas. More tips? Don’t let kids watch the news alone when they’re young and choose one newspaper story each day to read and discuss out loud. Note: Photos of Maria Elena Salinas in Siempre Mujer are available upon request.
