One media manager in North Carolina is taking the digital wave to another level by producing her own Spanish segment at her local television station.
Dalisa Michelle Robles-Iglesias, a Digital Media Manager at WNCT created a Spanish series called “Minuto a Minuto”, which discusses the latest news in the east area of North Carolina in about one minute.
Robles-Iglesias recently did a Facebook live interview inside a Facebook group for journalists, where she detailed the need for Hispanic representation on television. During the interview Robles-Iglesias said due to the growing Hispanic population in her area, a Spanish-tailored segment was needed to ensure everyone was represented equally.
“Is there a topic that you want me to investigate or anything that you want me to highlight?, Robles-Iglesias said during her Facebook live interview. ” [It’s] all about creating a relationship with the Hispanic community, like hey [you] have a voice [at] our station.”
We also asked Robles-Iglesias some questions offline, about the community’s response to her digital Spanish-segment, diversity and much more.
