HACIA
EL VOTO 2004, A live coverage of the Democratic and Republican National
Conventions
- This
is the first presidential election in times of war since Vietnam.
Immigrants living in the shadows anxiously expect renewed talks on
immigration reform. Uninsured families seek answers for their dire
health care needs.
These are just some of the issues at stake in the road to November.
Radio Bilingüe addresses those issues providing a forum for news
and analysis by political leaders, community activists and experts
gathered at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions in
Boston and New York. This special radio series is a live, gavel-to-gavel
coverage in Spanish of the four-day national presidential conventions,
including simultaneously-interpreted segments of keynote speeches,
news reports from the convention floor and demonstrations outside,
and interviews with guest commentators. It is widely expected that
the Latino vote will increase this year by 1 million. A powerful 7.5
million Latino voting force is expected to help shape the political
landscape of cities, states, congressional districts and the
contested presidential race. This special series opens a forum for
hard news and intense deliberation to help under-served Spanish-speaking
audiences develop informed opinions and turn out to vote and participate.
With this coverage, Radio Bilingüe builds on the experience of
its live, bilingual nationally-distributed broadcast of the national
presidential conventions in 1984. That was the first coverage of its
kind.
