Conecta Arizona

https://www.conectaarizona.com
Conecta Arizona is a service of news, useful information and community resources in Spanish for the Hispanic population in Arizona, USA and Sonora, Mexico. Conecta Arizona offers a daily stream of news, distributed on WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and through media partners that include newspapers, radio and digital news outlets from both sides of the US-Mexico border. It also has a podcast, Cruzando Líneas, distributed online, on the radio and on WhatsApp. In the WhatsApp group, journalists, experts and community members share information about the pandemic, social aid resources, news of the day and debate the most pressing issues for its members in La Hora del Cafecito. Experts are invited to the group during this hour to guide the audience, one on one, live, about the pandemic, immigration, health, finance, business, entertainment, sports and more. The medium was born with a “fellowship” from Listening Post Collective (of Internews) and the editorial help of the journalism organization Feet in 2 Worlds. The WhatsApp news, information and resource service began as a temporary project that has become a solid medium in Arizona with plans for growth.
