WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE NAHJ PRESIDENT

Welcome to the National Association of Hispanic But, this conference will also recognize those swirling Journalists’ 28th Annual Multimedia Convention & issues on which Latino reporters will continue to report. Career Expo, appropriately titled “NAHJ En Denver: We’ll help you deepen your knowledge on these—from El Grito Across the Rockies.” the Census to immigration. And we also recognize that your professional and personal lives are ever changing. It’s an apt title because there are distinct messages — We’ll pitch in with life-skills sessions as well. gritos—we want to reverberate in all directions from this conference in Denver. This year ends my tenure as president. The storm we’ve weathered has only deepened my conviction First, the organization wants to send the message that NAHJ is vital, not just to Latino journalists, but to that, though 2008 and 2009 exacted a toll on groups the news industry. When times get tough, diversity like ours as it worked its woe on the industry, we are suffers. We’ve seen it before. We’re seeing it again. still standing strong. A strong NAHJ is one of the first lines of defense. We’ve come too far to step back. Second, we have not and will not falter in providing members with the training they need to thrive in still I’ve been blessed with committed staff, board choppy economic times. members and a sterling convention programming committee. I know new board members will serve just And, third, we will not falter either in being the voice as admirably and with just as much commitment. for Latino journalists and for the kind of fair, accurate, balanced, nuanced and informed coverage that the It’s been a pleasure serving you. Have a great industry so very much needs at this moment. Even if it conference. doesn’t fully realize it. Events in Arizona serve to make this point. O. Ricardo Pimentel President, NAHJ These have been undeniably difficult times for NAHJ Editorial Page Editor and Latino journalists. We have seen too many Milwaukee Journal Sentinel colleagues caught up in the economic maelstrom, losing jobs through layoffs or opting out through buyouts because of the unpredictability of the times. But, if you’ve come expecting a pity party, you’ll be disappointed.

As with the 2009 conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, this conference is about rolling up sleeves and getting to work on the skills you need to evolve with your organizations—or, if you’re out of work, the skills you’ll need to land a new job. You will see a decided emphasis on multimedia journalism precisely because we know that these are the skills in demand

WELCOME FROM 2010 CONVENTION PROGRAMMING CO-CHAIRS Bienvenidos a Denver!

No matter what stage of your career you’re in, you’ve come to the right place to combine what you know with what you need to know in this rapidly changing profession.

Whether you’re looking to nail down those multimedia skills, want to take your basic skills to the next level, or are ready to launch your own startup, there are panels and workshops that can get you where you want to go.

Not sure what you need or where you’re going? We have life coaches and business coaches available to help you sort through the possibilities you’re weighing.

Photography for wordsmiths, management skills for newbie supervisors, Twitter, Facebook and Skype for everyone—you’ll find all of them offered in the pages that follow, whether you work in English language or Spanish language media.

The plenaries are newsy and provocative. The convention kicks off with a town hall discussion with the community: Latinos, The Newest Demons? The Need for Accurate Coverage to Abate the Hate. On Thursday the drug wars come home, as we look at how the violence around drug trafficking is coming across the border. Finally, the Politics of Immigration Reform come under examination as the issue heats up along with the political campaign season.

But all work would make us a dull lot, and for fun, receptions and parties abound. On Saturday the World Cup Lounge returns for the start of Group 2 competition with the Round of 16. And we honor the contribution of Ray Suarez and Gloria Campos with their induction into the Hall of Fame.

So get ready for four days of personal and Michele Salcedo Manny Sotelo Editor News Project professional development, El Grito—the cry for The Associated Press Supervisor change echoing across the Rockies. (Washington, D.C.) KUSA - TV (Denver)

NAHJ EN DENVER EL GRITO ACROSS THE ROCKIES

WELCOME MESSAGE FROM 2010 CONVENTION CO-CHAIRS Welcome to Denver!

The Rocky Mountains can give great perspective. Immovable and rugged, these peaks to the west put us closer to the natural world. And, for many of us, provide a sense of peace, of harmony, of our place in the great wide world.

And peace and perspective are in short supply—some of us thought 2010 might be the year the economy and the industry would turn around.

But not yet. Too many of us are still out of work or squirming in newsrooms worrying about the next round of buyouts and layoffs. Downsizing is our reality, not just a passing storm. How do we maintain our journalistic standards with smaller staffs and shrinking budgets? Confusion and concern greet even the smartest professionals when they sit down to work every day.

NAHJ is still here. We have worked hard to put together the best and most up-to-date training sessions possible. We know you need meaningful programming. And we hope that you will have some fun while you're here, too.

Denver and the West. Fresh thinking and endless possibility. You’ve come to the perfect place to dig out of your rut, break your mold. If you want to restake a claim on your journalistic ideals or just shout that you haven’t given up, this is the place!

We know it takes a truly committed journalist to be Angie Clemmons Elizabeth Aguilera here this year. So our heartfelt thanks for coming. NAHJ Region 7 Former NAHJ Come say hi, and let’s get to work—together.

WHY WE EXIST

It’s been four decades since social unrest resulted in riots by Latino journalists and our community need to be part of that blacks and Hispanics in cities nationwide during the summer of conversation and we stand ready to do so. This is why NAHJ’s 1967. The Kerner commission, appointed by President Lyndon mission remains critical to the future of our nation. Founded in Johnson to investigate the root causes of the violence, criticized 1984, NAHJ seeks to increase representation of Latinos in the media’s coverage of the riots and found that our nation’s newsrooms and to improve coverage of the Latino community. all-white newsrooms contributed to the “white-black schism” Not content with the status quo, NAHJ has created bold new in the country. initiatives toward ensuring that the news media accurately inform the public about the country and the world we live in. It was a wake-up call for the news media. The commission called for increased representation of minority journalists We get more young Latinos into the business by offering more throughout America’s newsrooms.

We gather the resources to provide the multimedia to come. journalism training and other kinds of training needed for Latino journalists to remain in journalism in a newsroom or on Latinos and people of color remain underrepresented in their own and to compete in an increasingly uncertain newsrooms by alarming margins. Daily newspapers, for marketplace. example, lost 5,900 newsroom jobs in 2008 and 5,200 in 2009 and, in the process, virtually wiped out the increases of We get Latino community members in cities across the country journalists of color made over the past decade. While one in to think critically about the media, realize its influence on their three people in the United States is a person of color—African lives, and organize and inspire them to take the lead in American, Asian American, Hispanic, Native American, or some advocating for fair coverage and media literacy. In essence, we combination thereof—journalists of color make up just 13.41 position more Latinos to tell and fight for our stories and we percent of all newsroom employees in daily newspapers, and educate more non-Latinos to include us in their words and 22 percent of those working at local English-language images as an integral part of the multicultural and multilayered television stations. fabric of U.S. society.

The Kerner commission warned that the lack of minority voices Only then can the news media cease to be a contributing in newsrooms and in news coverage would have serious and factor to the racial, ethnic and social unrest that continues, and negative consequences for our society. Those words of caution that fails to educate those ill-informed people who commit are still relevant today, as our nation’s population becomes violence against Muslims raising families according to their increasingly diverse, with Latinos now the largest ethnic faith, against Mexicans waiting alongside the road for work, or minority.

WHAT IS THE PARITY PROJECT? NAHJ’s Parity Project serves as a model for the entire news industry when it comes to improving newsroom diversity and coverage of, as well as interaction with, diverse communities, especially Latinos. These goals are accomplished through several holistic methods: town hall meetings, newsroom cultural awareness sessions, online surveys to gauge opinions of both news staff and Hispanic community leaders on coverage of Latinos, community advisory committees and establishing a “pipeline” of Latino journalism talent through schools.

The Chicago-based McCormick Foundation is the Parity Project’s major funder.
