Luis Mostacero, Jacqueline Fernandez and Jonathan Mena are heading to the Presidential Inauguration TODAY to make sure they’re in D.C. to engage this historic moment before the anticipated humungous surge inspires The Powers That Be to cut off transportation into the city. A sudden emergency is keeping Kisha Allison from going.
Mostacero has press credentials via his Noticia Hispanoamericana – but also will be writing for the WORD.

Click here for the first, but there will be more, Spanish and English. Mostacero, Jonathan Mena and Jacqueline Fernandez are leaving for D.C. Sunday, the 18th. A sudden emergency is keeping Kisha Allison from going.
This is amusing. After reviewing and then publishing on the WORD their Youtube production about the gay rights rally in New York City November 15, Â I told Jonathan Mena & Jacqueline Fernandez that they were doing too much breaking news and that they should focus on more in-depth stuff for their YouTube broacasts (and for their portfolios).
And guess what? New America Media put their production efforts on its front page.*Â This is exciting. I, with several years of journalism experience and two books and tons of related experience, told two student journalists that I thought what they did was good but they could do better and NAM decides what they did was front-page news.
I love it.
And will address “it” in subsequent posts.

*This hit NAM’s first page November 16. By tomorrow, it might be in the archives.
