NewsTaco Headed To Austin To Cover SXSW
NewsTaco, The Latino Daily, will be in Austin, Texas beginning Friday, March 9, 2012 to cover the South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival (SXSW) including Interactive, Music and Film through the end of the festival, March 18.
NewsTaco’s presence is part of a growing level of Latino participation in SXSW, which began in 1987. Also included this year is The Social Revolución, which includes a Latino Lounge, Revolucionario Awards and after party sponsored by Univision News.
Throughout the festival, we aim to cover SXSW panels, films and bands focused on the rising influence of Latinos, who constitute roughly 16% of the U.S. population.
“Latinos are a growing voice and a critical part of the mainstream conversation. We are excited to bring our unique perspective to this year’s SXSW and look forward to creating a new kind of dialogue about technology, music, film and culture,” said Editor, Sara Inés Calderón.
