Hispanic Journalists DESCRIPTION:AT BREAKFAST WITH HISPANIC JOURNALISTS\nDATE: Friday\, October 7\, 2022\nTIME: 8:30 – 9:30 am PT\nVia Zoom\n\n\n\nHispanics make up roughly half of the Los Angeles County population\, according to the U.S. Census. This is the largest of any county in the United States. Reaching this growing and dynamic consumer group is now a business imperative for companies and organizations looking to do PR in LA.\n\n\nPRSA-LA is partnering with HPRA-LA to bring top Hispanic journalists to discuss their beats\, coverage interests\, and tips for pitching stories.\n\n\n\nCOST: $15 for PRSA-LA\, HPRA-LA\, and BPRS members;$20 non-members; $10 students\n\n\n<>\n\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\n\n \nAndrew Campa\, Staff Writer\, Los Angeles Times \nAndrew J.

Two years later she was promoted to Executive Producer. \nJacqueline was born in El Salvador and moved to the U.S. when she was nine years old.

As an ambitious young woman seeking to progress\, learn\, and serve\, “no\, I can’t” wasn’t an option. Instead\, I always figured out what was needed\, even if I had to create it myself\, to assure that I successfully completed everything I did. \nI grew up in a third-world country where resources are scarce. I used intelligence\, determination\, and resourcefulness to achieve my biggest dream: to become a United States citizen and to be part of this great Country’s culture. For 20 years I built my career as a journalist and became a National Correspondent for one of the world’s leading national Hispanic networks – and earned 4 Emmy awards along the way. \nBeing an ethical\, fast learner who connects easily with people enabled me to become a credible and trusted source of information for the national Hispanic community. My expertise is centered on telling stories that provide accurate\, timely facts and information to provide greater access to services and resources that improve quality of life. I develop strategies and action plans to create compelling stories (both in words and visuals) to capture the attention of audiences and engage them by communicating important facts in a relatable\, clear\, and efficient manner. \nI accepted the challenge of making diversity a key strength and I have built my reputation and my entire career around helping organizations to formulate and deliver stories and information that change lives. \n\n  \n  \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n<> URL:https://prsala.org/event/at-breakfast-with-hispanic-journalists/ CATEGORIES:PRSA-LA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221013T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221013T210000 DTSTAMP:20260520T191014 CREATED:20220728T225232Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221011T030100Z UID:21905-1665684000-1665694800@prsala.org SUMMARY:2022 PRism Awards DESCRIPTION:PRSA-LA 58th Annual PRism Awards\nOctober 13\, 2022\nat the Annenberg Community Beach House\n415 E Pacific Coast Highway\, Santa Monica\, CA 90402\nCocktail Hour/Networking\n6:00 – 7:00 PM PDT \nAwards Presentation\n7:00 – 8:30 PM PDT \nREGISTER HERE\nAs we continue to celebrate PRSA-LA’s 75th Anniversary\, we are proud to present our signature event\, the 58th Annual PRism Awards.
