Salcedo was formerly with The Associated Press, where she edited on the national general news desk in the Washington bureau and helped establish a social media presence for AP Politics.

At the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, she twice lead the Race and Demographics team and was the National-International Editor, overseeing coverage of Washington and Havana and reporting from throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

She was also a criminal justice reporter at Newsday and a Bexar County courthouse reporter at the San Antonio Light. She is a past membership secretary for the National Press Club and a past national president of
the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
