Daniel Shoer Roth is a Service Journalism Editor and Editor de Sociedad y Servicio Público for McClatchy. He graduated with a degree in Comunicación Social from the Universidad Central de Venezuela and a master’s degree in Journalism and Latin American Studies from New York University. He joined McClatchy in 2000.

A journalist with more than 30 years of experience across the United States and Latin America, he has covered immigration, religion, education, business and breaking news. He has also been a news columnist for both el Nuevo Herald and the Miami Herald. The grandson of Holocaust survivors who fled to Latin America, he discovered his passion for storytelling at an early age. Throughout his career, he has worked across print, digital and social platforms, earning awards from the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ), the Society of Professional Journalists, the National Association of Hispanic Publications and GLAAD. Although his primary role today is editing, he still enjoys reporting and writing news-you-can-use stories that help readers navigate everyday life.

Originally from Venezuela, Daniel has called South Florida home for nearly three decades. Outside the newsroom, nothing brings him greater joy than spending time with his three nephews or caring for his two senior rescue cats. He also enjoys traveling, staying active and finding new ways to connect with readers through digital storytelling.
