HARTFORD, CT \u2013 September 17, 2020 \u2013 (LATINX NEWSWIRE<\/a>) \u2013 Latino News Network<\/a> owner and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ)<\/a> President, Hugo Balta<\/a>, has launched new weekly programming with WTTW News<\/a>. CHICAGO TONIGHT: LATINO VOICES<\/a>, a weekly series that has been added as a flagship to Chicago\u2019s news shows, aims to provide important content related to the Latino communities of Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n

Each week LATINO VOICES informs the public on current events in an effort to create public engagement. Topics will range from arts and life, entrepreneurship and innovation, equity and justice across the sectors of our society and in Latino communities across Chicago. The producers will work with a range of local grassroots organizations in story selection to ensure that coverage reflects the needs of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n

Amid the pandemic and a racial reckoning, Balta expects that in addition to informing residents, the programming will offer a standard and example for other news leadership to replicate in their own communities, from local to national.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cIn an effort to reduce the marginalization of the Latino and Black communities, VOICES pursue any and all avenues to share an accurate representation of the diverse communities in Chicago,\u201d said Latino Voices host, Hugo Balta.<\/p>\n\n\n

The half-hour program airs on Saturdays at 6:00 pm<\/strong> on WTTW and will stream live and on-demand on wttw.com\/news<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>. View the LATINO VOICES premiere from Saturday, September 12, by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

CHICAGO TONIGHT: LATINO VOICES is part of WTTW News’ VOICES series which includes CHICAGO TONIGHT: BLACK VOICES, airing Sundays at 6:00 pm, hosted by anchor Brandis Friedman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
