The Latino Media Consortium

Sponsored by

Hi, it’s Julio. It’s been another week to celebrate what The Latino Newsletter has accomplished.

We were a little late in publishing my weekly Friday thoughts about TLN updates and our latest podcast episode. I think we had a good reason.

We start up the Latino Election Project next week in Springfield, and I promise to keep you all updated about its progress. The three students are so excited to start the work, and I am just as excited to work with them.

As of this afternoon, I am writing to 717 email subscribers. This week, we eclipsed more than 3,000 followers on our TikTok and we will soon start hitting 1,000 followers on other social networks.

We dropped Episode 7 of The Latino Newsletter podcast, and it’s a strong one. With the launch of the Latino Media Consortium last week (TLN is a founding member), Joaquin Cotler and I booked the LMC’s co-founders, ⁠Lucy Flores⁠ and ⁠Amanda Zamora⁠, to talk about the initial reaction. By the way, Axios featured the LMC news this week as well. YAY!

Here is the show. The conversation was fun, quick, direct and yes, we are calling all billionaires to listen and just support the LMC.

If you like what you hear and want to be notified of new podcast episodes, you can subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, or iHeart Radio. We are also on YouTube.

We are also posting all episodes here at The Latino Newsletter.

If you have any specific questions about the LMC, the best thing to do is go to WeAreLatinoMedia.org. You can enter your information at the Join Us link. You can also request the deck presentation here.

Thanks for listening!

Now, a word from our sponsor.

What We’re Reading

Puerto Ricans and Pennsylvania: Washington Post national politics reporter (and friend) Sabrina Rodríguez filed her latest story from Reading, Pa., and spoke to several voters of Puerto Rican descent about the 2024 election. Some of the quotes are gold. We are sharing the gift article.

Senior Latino Consultants Join Harris Campaign: From another friend, Rafael Bernal of The Hill, “The [Kamala Harris] campaign is onboarding Alida García, Jorge Neri, Nathaly Arriola Maurice and Jess Morales Rocketto, a group that combines advocacy, national campaign and White House experience.”

Then there is this from The Haitian Times:

That just needs to stop.

Rest up for the weekend. It’s a long journey.
