While we have not seen you in a couple pandemic years, we are excited to convene the 2022 Latino Media Summit to tackle the most pressing issues impacting Latino news media and journalism in California and regionally. As the most important Latino media convening in the state, we invite you to listen to media sector leaders and a panel presentation. As the Latino news media sector rapidly transforms, LMC is working tirelessly to advance research, advocacy, capacity building, and as well as impactful content development to coalesce and support Latino media in California.
Please join Latino media sector, academic, philanthropic, and public officials committed to strengthening the Latino media ecosystem. We will conclude the event with a networking reception to launch the Calo News initiative as well as to celebrate our collective successes and plant the seeds for future collaboration.
