MTV Tr3s Receives Eight Imagen Nominations

Tomas — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:09:28 +0000

"MTV Tr3s programming and on-air advertising has received eight Imagen Foundation Awards for positive portrayals of young Latinos. The 23rd Annual Imagen Awards take place Thursday, August 21 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Nominated in the Best Variety or Reality Show category is "Mi TRL Awards," an annual awards show that recognizes and honors the people and music that make "Mi TRL" the "must watch" show for U.S. Latinos and sends winners home with a shiny "Gallo" (rooster) trophy. The nominated show was packed with some of today's hottest artists, such as RBD, Wisin y Yandel, Will Smith, Jessica Alba, Menudo, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, and Jaslene Gonzalez and Zuleyka Rivera performing, accepting and presenting awards, along with a surprise appearance by Diddy who opened the show to the delight of the fans who attended the awards show.

"Beyond Borders: An MTV Tr3s Immigration Forum," a network special that gave voice to Latino youth who were ready to go beyond the politics and rhetoric of the immigration debate, was nominated for Best National Informational Programming. The historic, first-ever of its kind on network TV event, brought together artists such as Ana Ortiz, Calle 13's Residente and Malverde; young people from Cal State L.A; and U.S. Congressman Xavier Becerra to explore solutions to the immigration crisis and discuss its impact on their families, education and everyday lives. It was hosted by journalist Gustavo Arellano.

MTV Tr3s' multiplatform music discovery initiative, "Descubre & Download" earned two nominations in the Best On-Air Advertising category for projects with newcomer Colby O'Donis and West-coast rapper Malverde.

Also earning nominations in Best On Air Advertising were three MTV Tr3s "Tu Pride" entries, "Sylvestre," "Elan," and "Ruben." "Tu Pride" is a series of mini-documentaries about young Latinos growing up today with a mix of cultural influences.

"The entire MTV Tr3s familia is dedicated to the positive and uplifting portrayal of the U.S. Latino experience and we are humbled to be recognized with these nominations by the Imagen Foundation," said Lucia Ballas-Traynor, Senior Vice President and General Manager, MTV Tr3s.

MTV Tr3s (mtvTr3s.com) is in 6.4 million Hispanic TV households and 34 million total TV households, making it the most-widely distributed TV network dedicated to superserving today's bicultural Latino youth. MTV Tr3s programming is rooted in the fusion of American and Latino music, cultures, lifestyles and languages. Music programming is at the core of MTV Tr3s and the channel features hitmakers, emerging artists and new sounds that resonate with young U.S. Latinos. In addition to music programming, the MTV Tr3s programming slate also features lifestyle series, news, documentaries and other long-form programs that celebrate US Latino hybrid identity and culture.

"Author Henry David Thoreau once said, “Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.”

Those famous words have never been more appropriate than when telling the story of Latin rock originators El Chicano — a band of friends from East L.A. who, practically overnight in 1970, went from nightclub jammin’ to the world stage.

Performing live at the Kern County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Latin Food Festival and 10th annual Menudo Cook-Off on Sunday, June 1, at Stramler Park — most fans of the band might be taken aback when they hear their story. "

La India, Pitbull, and Menudo … Celebrate Carnaval Miami at Little Havana’s Calle Ocho – Sunday, March 16 (wish I was going)

tomasz — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:46:20 +0000

"It's mid-March, which means it's time for Carnaval Miami's legendary Calle Ocho street party. The free event — this year celebrating its 30th anniversary — attracts more than a million people from all over the world, making it the largest Spanish-language music festival in the nation.

It all began in 1978, when the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana organized a Cuban-style carnival to highlight Miami's growing Hispanic heritage. But what originally started out as a local celebration of Cuban culture quickly grew to encompass music genres from all of Latin America."

Self-Reliance Foundation and Hispanic Communications Network Announce Launch of ConCiencia

tomasz — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 18:32:49 +0000

"The Self-Reliance Foundation (SRF) and the Hispanic Communications Network (HCN) announced today the launch of ConCiencia, a newswire service in Spanish funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Each week, ConCiencia will provide and release science and health news to all Hispanic media outlets throughout the country.

According to HCN President Carlos Alcazar, “Downsizing and consolidation in the media has left few resources for local media to use to offer science information to their Latino audiences.” Alcazar hopes ConCiencia will enhance the ability of local Spanish-language outlets to provide this vital science and health information that the Hispanic community needs.

Bob Russell, Science Advisor with the Self-Reliance Foundation noted that “Latinos currently achieve lower-than-average math and science scores in public schools and are significantly underrepresented in science and engineering professions.” Russell adds that is why it is critical to provide Hispanic media with an ongoing source of high-quality science news tailored to meet the needs and interests of Hispanics.

ConCiencia’s launch took place today at the National Press Club located downtown Washington, D.C. Attendants to the event include members from the local Hispanic media, Latino community leaders, educational and scientific organizations, among others. Keynote speakers include Hispanic Heritage Foundation’s 2006 Scientist of the Year Dr. Ines Cifuentes and Xavier Serbia, news writer and former Menudo member.

Distribution for ConCiencia’s news products includes newspaper articles, radio segments and online news. Newspaper articles will be distributed in collaboration with the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) and other news organizations. ConCiencia’s radio segments will be distributed by HCN through their radio network of over 250 Spanish-language radio stations nationwide reaching millions of listeners each week. ConCiencia also plans on distributing its content over the most heavily-used Hispanic websites. A comprehensive editorial/news gathering process is in place to assure the accuracy, accessibility, and relevance of the science that is presented. Science news used in the service will be gathered from federal research agencies, scientific societies and their publications, and English-language science news services. All feeds will be disseminated in Spanish and edited for Latino interest. ConCiencia offers all its content at no cost to all Spanish-language media outlets that wish to publish it.

ConCiencia’s staff is comprised by renowned journalists and scientists. Robert L. Russell, PhD., with more than twenty years of experience in science education, serves as Science Advisor to ConCiencia. The supervision and coordination of the content production and news gathering processes will be supervised by journalist and media producer Karina Flores-Hurley, who serves as the Chief Editor of the project. Award-winning journalist Isabel Morales serves as the writer and editor of ConCiencia’s news, and Alicia Santiago, PhD., serves as senior science researcher.

ConCiencia’s staff members also rely on the expert advice of educational media and science advisory committee members such as SACNAS’ Executive Director, Judit Camacho, NRDC’s Science Center Director, Gabriela Chavarría, among others.

The audience for Spanish-language media is vast and growing. There are currently more than 1,500 Spanish-language newspapers in print in the U.S. with a total circulation of over 42 million copies. Hispanics also represent the fastest-growing Internet market. Nearly half of Hispanics currently have Internet access at home and spend 9.8 hours per week online, compared to 8.1 hours for non-Hispanics.

Media Notes: For more information on ConCiencia or to begin receiving its news products, please contact Duly Fernandez at 202.360.4052 or duly.fernandez@hcnmedia.com"

"When Menudo was well on its way to becoming the first truly big-name group among the pop boy bands of the 1980s, Henry Escalante wasn't even thought of.

But back then, Escalante's mother, Jacqueline Cubillos, was a huge fan of Menudo when she was growing up in her native Union City.

"My mom loved Menudo," Escalante said. "She used to go to the Menudo concerts and jump up and down and cry. She told me a story that she was at a concert and even fainted once. It was pretty funny. She was really into it." "
