Noticias Telemundo Communications’ Post

Noticias Telemundo and Axios have teamed up to co-host events during the Republican and Democratic conventions featuring in-depth conversations with leading Latino voices on the potential impact Latino voters have to shape this year’s elections. At the Axios House last week in Milwaukee, Noticias Telemundo anchor Julio Vaqueiro spoke with two Republican lawmakers – Rep. Monica De La Cruz (TX) and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (FL) – about the role they think Latino voters will play. Watch the conversation here: https://bit.ly/4daDBck Photo credit: Lindsey Stayton

In partnership with MediaWise of the Poynter Institute and with support from Google News Initiative, Noticias Telemundo launched new Spanish-language media literacy resources ahead of the upcoming elections. In a series of videos, Noticias Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro, José Díaz-Balart and Nicole Suárez walk viewers through topics like election misinformation, A.I. and sharing content responsibly. “With Latinos poised to play a pivotal role in this year's election, Noticias Telemundo is doubling down on its commitment to provide the Hispanic community fact-based news and tools to help voters navigate what will be a consequential election,” said Gemma Garcia, Noticias Telemundo’s executive vice president of news. “MediaWise en Español is an important part of our overall fact-checking efforts to make sure our viewers and readers are able to identify misinformation and access accurate news and information.” https://lnkd.in/dcvYMUi9
