Apreciado Manuel:

Gracias por enviarme el comunicado de NJ Chapter de NAHJ en relación a la reciente reunion delos Capitulos de NAHJ y las declaraciones del presidente en el sentido que se han  iniciado las gestiones para conmemorar el Dia del Perodista Hispano en los Estados Unidos lo cual me enorgullece.

Esperemos que se publique pronto la Resolución oficial de NAHJ en que se declare la creación del Primero de Octubre de cada año.

Me gustaria saber en que consiste los contactos con los miembros del Caucus Hispano del Congreso.

En mi opinion, NAHJ deberá publicar la Resolución de Aprobacion del Dia del Periodista Hispano en USA.

Segundo, solicitar al Congreso un Congressional Record dando cuenta de esta Resolucion.

Tercero, nombrar con Comité de trabajo que se encargue de organizar la Primera Celebracion del Dia del Periodista Hispano en U.S. este año.

Estoy de acuerdo con los demás puntos de la moción, a la que se debe agregar ademas del ID, el cumplimiento de los asociados del Codigo de Etica Periodistia con carácter obligatorio.

Te saluda,

Roberto Bustamante

Queridos colegas:

Luego de la reunión de Presidentes de Capítulos de la Asociación Nacional de Periodistas Hispanos (NAHJ) realizada en Los Angeles, California -a la que asistimos el mes de junio- y en contactos posteriores con nuestros dirigentes nacionales, fuimos informados que se ya han realizado las gestiones iniciales para conmemorar el

Día del Periodista Hispano en los Estados Unidos

una vieja iniciativa lanzada por nuestro miembro Roberto Bustamante y llevada como moción a la reunión de Los Angeles.

Nuestro presidente nacional, Mekahlo Medina, nos ha informado que ya se han realizado las primeras conversaciones con los miembros del Caucus Hispano del Congreso de los Estados Unidos con el fin de oficializar una fecha en el calendario que sea dedicada a resaltar la tarea de los periodistas hispanos en esta nación.

Los mantendremos informados acerca de los avances que tengan estas gestiones. A continuación les envío la comunicación que dirigimos a nombre del Capítulo de Nueva Jersey de la NAHJ.

 

Atentamente,

Manuel E. Avendaño

To: Mekahlo Medina, NAHJ President

From: Manuel E. Avendano, NJ Chapter President

Date: June 6, 2015, Los Angeles California

Mr. President

Please, receive the support and congratulations of the members of our New Jersey Chapter for all the initiatives to make the National Association of Hispanic Journalists a better and stronger institution for our members and for our community.

The New Jersey Chapter was reactivated in 2004 after the North Jersey Chapter and has among its members very important journalists working for different media companies. We have Hugo Balta, our past president of NAHJ, and many other members.

In the past year we created the Jose Rohaidy Scholarship Award in memory of Mr. Jose Rohaidy one of the pioneers in the Hispanic Journalism in New York and New Jersey who worked more than 30 years for EL DIARIO LA PRENSA, the oldest newspaper in Spanish published today in the USA.

This scholarship started several years ago as part of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, but then our chapter was disactivated and we tried to continue this initiative as individuals. With the help of donations from several local merchants in New Jersey we continued this small award with the Montclair State University in the last four years.

This is the first time that this award has a name: Jose Rohaidy Award for a Journalist student at Montclair State University in New Jersey. The student Kelsey Rojas received the scholarship this year. We hope to continue in this with the help of the national board.

We also organized a conference about the Ucchuracay case, the Andean place in Peru where 8journalists were murdered more than 30 years ago. Our new member, Carmen Valdivieso Hulbert, is finishing a documental about this case and she was the keynote speaker of this conference in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

We also supported other local organizations activities as Citizenship Campaigns and others.

We are planning for this year to continue this and other activities for our members and for the Hispanic community also. Campaigns in order to get more members, etc.

 

 

 

   

 

 

MOTION TO CREATE THE DAY

OF HISPANIC JOURNALIST

Since 2008, our member Roberto Bustamante, has been pushing to create the Day of Hispanic Journalist in our calendar as a way to help the unity and integration of Hispanic Journalists in the USA.

In New Jersey we have journalists from several nationalities (Colegio de Periodistas Cubanos, Colegio de Periodistas Dominicanos, Colegio de Periodistas Peruanos, and other groups)

In Peru, we celebrate the Day of Journalist in October 1^st. for more than 50 years to recognize the important role of this profession for the community and the whole country. This date was chosen because October 1^st. of 1790 was created el “Diario de Lima”, the first newspaper in Peru and Latin America also.

We are bringing the same idea to create the Day of Hispanic Journalist in the United States a part of other Hispanic celebrations. To have a special day to recognize the role of new and old generations of journalists to this country. We hope your support in this initiative.

 

AMONG OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

·     Create a ID card as member of NAHJ

·     Coordinate with the national board more chapter activities. Receive their advise and experience how to organize our year chapter activities, how to get sponsorships, etc.

·     Visit the different media organizations as NAHJ representatives to create and keep a relationship to help our members to get jobs and increase the presence of Hispanics in the news industry, one of our goals.

·     Organize conferences with different community groups to advise how the media works to help in the publications of their activities.
