▪︎ NOVEMBER 11 FROM 6:30 TO 8:00 P.M. ▪︎
Join Latinx Coloradans and local reporters in a conversation about working together to improve local news coverage.
It’s a mixer and more! Please join us as we mark the release of four recommendations by a Latinx community-led working group to deepen coverage of and improve relationships with local media.
We’ll zero in on the pitfall of framing coverage as “negative” versus “positive,” and what it looks like to fill in the spectrum between these two extremes.
Joining us will be Debora Ortega, director of the Latino Center for Community Engagement and Scholarship at the University of Denver; Jesús Luis Sánchez Meleán, editor at El Comercio de Colorado; and Erika Martinez, director of Communications and Community Engagement at Denver Public Library.
The event will also feature a recorded interview with community advocate Betty Aragon-Mitotes and a special presentation of a snippet of her documentary, “Hispanic Community Voices: The Impact of Covid-19.”
The four recommendations emerged from a working group convened by News Voices: Colorado, a collaboration among the Colorado News Collaborative (COLab), Colorado Media Project and Free Press, a national nonprofit.
