Latino Links: Media Trends

Hispanicize and Univision Communications are teaming up to provide free in-depth communications training to non-profits serving Latino communities through the program “Latino Social Media for Social Good.”

The second annual program consists of free Hispanic social media and communications trainings for non-profits to be held at Univision offices in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Washington D.C., starting in June.

“This amazing program will empower non-profits with the communications tools they need to radically improve the way they serve Latino communities,” Manny Ruiz, founder of Hispanicize, stated in a media release. “Through this program Hispanicize and Univision this year alone will help hundreds of non-profits that normally can’t afford to get this type of professional development.”

“At Univision we have seen the power of social media and how Hispanic America has embraced these platforms across Univision.com’s ‘Foros’ and ‘Mi Pagina’ as well as on Facebook and Twitter,” Cesar Conde, president of Univision Networks, stated in the release. “Our goal is to empower the non-profit community by tapping into the tremendous opportunity of leveraging social media to achieve their goals.”

In collaboration with Univision and the Hispanic Public Relations Association (www.hpra-usa.org), “Latino Social Media for Social Good,” will feature social media tools training for Facebook, Twitter, blogs and traditional media relations and media training.
