It’s ITT’s first live show of 2022! Maria and Julio travel to the NABJ-NAHJ Convention at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada to talk about the complexity of Latino communities and the role of journalists who are reporting on them. They’re joined by Lori Montenegro, Washington D.C. bureau chief for Noticias Telemundo, and Ed O’Keefe, Senior White House & Political Correspondent for CBS News to discuss what is being missed in media coverage of the Latino vote and Latino communities broadly. We also hear from other journalists at the convention about what issues are most important to the communities they cover across the country.

ITT Staff Picks:

• “A main driver of democracy’s decline in the United States is Latinophobia,” writes Jean Guerrero in this opinion piece for the LA Times.
