“NAHJ en Denver: El Grito Across the Rockies”

A revolution is afoot in news media, brimming with new excitement, yet testing our resilience. With the 28^th Annual NAHJ Multimedia Convention & Career Expo, “NAHJ en Denver: El Grito Across the Rockies”, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists answers the call for change and will help hundreds meet the challenge.        

Media company cuts, belt-tightening management, transitional technologies—a new reality. Instead of holding our collective breath, NAHJ keeps moving forward. We are gente willing to risk coming together and being community. We are in a position to redefine ourselves and stand tall from the highest summit in Colorado…Arriba NAHJ!        

The majestic mountains surrounding Denver will be the backdrop this June 23-26, 2010 for a storm of training sessions, in-depth discussions and networking designed to give attendees more of the skills needed to be the journalists of today and tomorrow, and explore the political and economic issues vital to the country’s fast-growing Latino community.        

This convention, one of the industry’s leading journalism events, will truly be a fertile training ground and a premiere networking hub for some 1,500 of our nation’s most influential Latino journalists, media executives and key political figures.        

Two rooms of constant online skills training over four days in English and in Spanish, the CyberLabs@NAHJ, will feature everything from podcasting, recording audio, and editing video using Final Cut Pro to how to monetize your blog and use social networking tools effectively. Armed with their laptops, hundreds of attendees will fill classrooms set up with Wi-Fi for a valuable hands-on training experience.        

The growing group of freelancers and those striking out on their own as entrepreneurial journalists will get the intensive training they need. Sessions like narrative storytelling and doing good live shots will round out discussions on the U.S. census, immigration policy and sound personal finances in the midst of crisis.        

It’s about taking control of the revolution, with El Grito heard throughout history of many Latin American countries. It’s about evolving as the news industry is changing, about opening the doors and grabbing the tools to improve and reinvent yourself, about seeing the opportunities clearly enough to seize them.        

And get set for four days of hard work and good fun! The 1,500- plus journalists and media executives in Denver for NAHJ will mix socially with a convention of hundreds of Latino elected and appointed officials in this mile-high environment for a social evening of politics and prose… and partying! And as we gather during the height of the premiere soccer event in the world, the convention will feature a World Cup Lounge to catch a game in a massive “tailgate” party.        

Also, with the generous support of the Gannett Foundation, NAHJ is able to offer an even bigger discount to the first 250 members. Be one of the first 250 current, regular/associate/academic members to register online and pay only $250. That’s a $75 savings!       

So don’t miss out! We’ll see you in Denver!
