Soledad O’Brien named contributing editor at Latina

CNN’s Soledad O’Brien has been named a contributing editor with Latina magazine. Considering she’s still in Japan covering the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami, she might have her first column idea.

Late last year, Cuban-Irish-American O’Brien published her memoir The Next Big Story: My Journey Through the Land of Possibilities, which chronicles how her upbringing influenced her TV news career.
