You are invited to participate in a conference on September 29 on The Battle for the Latino Vote. This half-day conference is the second of two organized by the Journalism School and Noticias Telemundo in a special effort to promote accurate, comprehensive coverage of the growing Latino in this presidential election, but also in races beyond fall. This conference will focus attention on the role of the youngest voters, how to best cover this population and issues relevant to them, and how to deliver news to them.

Sessions will include a conversation our Dean, Steve Coll, will lead with NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd; the perspectives from The Washington Post’s Ed O’Keefe; Adrian Carrasquillo of BuzzFeed; Monica Alba (fellow J-grad!) of  NBC News; Mark Hugo Lopez of the Pew Hispanic Center and Telemundo’s national anchor José Díaz-Balart. We’ll leave plenty of time for Q&A so you’ll have chance to query speakers..

The conference: 8am-2pm, Thursday Sept. 29, Lecture Hall. Details & RSVP: https://latinovote2016.eventbrite.com  The program will also be livestreamed and archived for those who cannot join on that day.

We welcome your participation and hope to see you at the conference, but, attendence cannot interfere with your class schedules.
