A DEEPENING JOURNALISM CRISIS IN L.A.
Perspectives from Frontline Latino News Media Leaders and their Vision for Community Anchored L.A. Journalism
Join us for the first conversation in our Diálogo Series focused on the growing crisis impacting journalism in our region and its effects on the Latino communities of Greater Los Angeles. Recently, some newsrooms have been making headlines instead of writing them. Shutdowns and layoffs have become the norm as news operations struggle to find a business model that works. This is all having a disproportionate impact on Latino communities in the Los Angeles metro region. Join us on March 7th at 4pm at the City Club LA, where leading Latino voices in journalism will shed light to the growing crisis and the solutions needed to change the tide.

About the
Series
The Dialogo Series is a regular convening space launched by the Latino Media Collaborative and CALÓ News for open discussion, conversation and dialogue within our community on the most pressing issues. Open to the public, we envision a meeting of the minds, with panel discussions led by the leading thinkers and policy makers, one-on-one interviews with emerging and established leaders, as well as seminars to educate, enlighten and entertain.
We want to create discourse and a hotbed of new ideas within the Latino community of Greater Los Angeles. Our topics will range from the state of media in L.A. to healthcare issues to politics to wealth and prosperity. Discussions will be led by leading experts in their fields, as we seek robust audience participation, making sure that everyone has a voice in this conversation.
