Last night the Atlanta Press Club and GALAJ hosted a fascinating look at Georgia’s vibrant Hispanic media. A few of the impressive panelists’ comments: Georgia’s is a “first-generation” Hispanic community, meaning most members are new to the U.S.; there are some 11 newspapers and 15 Hispanic radio stations here; members of the Hispanic media have to balance every day between being journalists and “counselors”/advocates for their communities; and they see the mainstream media as partners in their endeavors. A terrific, meaningful program!

Hello, APC members. This is my first post as the first official blogger on our amazing new APC website. Please don’t hesitate to leave comments and/or email me at mlevs@atlpressclub.org if you have ideas for what I should blog on.
For my first post, I just HAD to share this train wreck of a video with you from my dear fellow UMD J-school alum, Connie Chung. Seems her MSNBC show with her creepy cheeseball hubby Maury (what MSNBC show??!?! Oh, don’t worry; you didn’t miss anything) has been cancelled and she just HAD to sign off with a song. *sigh*
