Noticias Telemundo announced the addition of award-winning Mexican journalist Paulina Sodi as news anchor of its morning show, UN NUEVO DIA.

"I feel absolutely certain that she will have a positive impact on the entire Noticias Telemundo team. At the same time, I would like to thank Vanessa for her impeccable job at 'Un Nuevo Día.' Vanessa is a GREAT NEWS anchor, but now we need her to help us face the new challenges ahead for Noticias Telemundo."
