It's refreshing to discover a journalist like Daniel Shoer Roth. Cultured, well-informed, sharply observant, precise in his details, truthful and with a balanced point of view, Shoer Roth writes for the community and on behalf of the community. . . .

A compilation of his columns published in El Nuevo Herald over the past three years, this book has two very clear objectives: to extol the values and principles that are the foundation of human dignity, and to issue a call to the government, politicians and social institutions to uphold their responsibilities to the public.

El Nuevo Herald is a newspaper with unique characteristics. Created to serve a multinational community of Hispanic origin (which makes it difficult to find points of converging interests) and published in Spanish, it takes on the challenge of coexisting and competing with other media outlets in an American city whose official language is that of Shakespeare. However, it is precisely this fighting spirit that makes it such a lively newspaper, one that resonates with its readers, and whose greatest objectives are to inform, guide and elevate the culture, as well as protect the well-being, of its community. That is why Shoer Roth has been given a forum in its pages.

His columns not only inform and educate but also become interactive and reflective, describing the situation and advocating change. Shoer Roth creates. The stories he writes have a life and continuity of their own.
