As the media industry evolves, so must the the journalist that wants to remain relevant.
That’s why Media Moves has teamed up with Hispanicize, creating a contest to send one journalist to the 2013 conference.

Journalists will have the opportunity to explore options as media entrepreneurs, mingle with bloggers and potential start up sponsors and learn about new social media tools.
Some of the top Latino journalists in the country will be among the speakers, including Pulitzer-prize winner Sonia Nazario, Web Journalist Chat Creator (#WJChat) and USC Professor Robert Hernandez and Soledad O’Brien, among others.
The grand prize for the contest is a free registration to the event, round-trip airfare and a two-day hotel stay.
