Period: 1976–1986. The most radiant period in Spanish- language television ensues when SIN’s satellite links provide the U.S. vast international programming. SIN is chief affiliate of Azcárraga Milmo’s multinational network he names “Univision.” Ignoring Fouce’s lawsuit, Anselmo consolidates control. Without competition, turning profits, and freed of Azcárraga’s grip, he pushes numerous initiatives, many unorthodox. His hunger strike in New York obtains a prized World Trade Center transmitting site. Using names of fictitious characters, his letters to the FCC win needed satellite relays. He launches the first Spanish-language network news. Headed by Gustavo Godoy, the newscast excels until Televisa, and its head Jacobo Zabludovsky, attempt its takeover. In the largest-ever mutiny in a U.S. newsroom, Godoy and dozens of news personnel resign. They force Televisa’s retreat. However, a ten-year “golden age” ends with the removal of Anselmo, Azcárraga, and others, and the demise of Spanish International.

We observed that World Trade Center (WTC) exposure, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and depressive symptoms were associated with subjective cognitive concerns in Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) rescue/recovery workers. This follow-up study examined whether PTSD symptoms and/or depressive symptoms mediate the observed association between WTC exposure and subjective cognitive concerns. We included WTC-exposed FDNY workers who completed the Cognitive Function Instrument (CFI), measuring self-perceived cognitive decline (N = 9516). PTSD symptoms and depressive symptoms were assessed using the PCL-S and CES-D, respectively. Multivariable linear regression estimated the association between WTC exposure and CFI score, adjusting for confounders. Mediation analyses followed the methods of Vanderweele (2014). Participants’ average age at CFI assessment was 56.6 ± 7.6 years. Higher-intensity WTC exposure was associated with worse CFI score, an effect that was entirely mediated by PTSD symptoms (%mediated: 110.9%; 95%CI: 83.1–138.9). When substituting depressive symptoms for PTSD symptoms, the WTC exposure–CFI association was largely mediated (%mediated: 82.1%; 95%CI: 60.6–103.7). Our findings that PTSD symptoms and depressive symptoms mediate the association between WTC exposure and subjective cognitive concerns indicate that in the absence of these symptoms, WTC exposure in rescue/recovery workers would not be associated with subjective cognition. Interventions targeting PTSD and depression may have additional value in mitigating cognitive decline in WTC-exposed populations.
