Why the Latino Media Matter in the 2012 Presidential Election?— A Hispanic Media Panel
Thursday, October 25, 2012
According to the Pew Hispanic Center, a record 24 million Latinos are eligible to vote in the 2012 presidential election. With the Latino vote hotly contested by both presidential hopefuls, Spanish-language and bilingual media have upped their game in covering the topics that matter most: immigration, the economy, healthcare. All, while balancing social media, debates, and the influence of Latam and local politics on voter decisions. Panelists will cover a view on the influence of social media, the debates, and what stories are worth a pitch in the context of the election.
Please join us for a panel moderated by Telemundo’s senior vice president of communications and talent Alfredo Richard featuring:
Prof. Alejandro Alvarado– Florida International University: director of Hispanic media futures for Telemundo
Jose Diaz Balart—Telemundo anchor and NBC contributor
Hirania Luzardo— senior editor/reporter, blogger and columnist for HuffPost Voces
Emilio Sanchez—founder and editor of Voxxi, an online independent news agency in English
