Conectando Periodistas Launches Website Dedicated To Helping Hispanic Media Find Experts For Their Stories

Online, February 21, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Conectando Periodistas, a free subscription service that helps connect Hispanic journalists with expert sources for their stories, today announced the official launch of ConectandoPeriodistas.com. The website serves as an invaluable resource for Hispanic media looking to quickly identify and connect with experts.

Journalists, bloggers and writers can easily post a request on Conectando Periodistas, which is then distributed in a daily email alert to subscribers of the service. If the subscriber is a match, they then can respond directly to the reporter. For experts, small business owners and entrepreneurs, Conectando Periodistas is also the perfect tool for those seeking to obtain free publicity and gain exposure.

"I am thrilled to announce the launch of Conectando Periodistas. Having worked as a TV producer, I know first-hand the challenges that reporters face when trying to find a source on deadline," said Carmen Ordonez, Founder of Conectando Periodistas. "Conectando Periodistas is a much-needed tool for Hispanic journalists and I'm very excited to fill this void."

Since its launch last month, Conectando Periodistas has already received requests from reporters from top Hispanic media outlets including Univision, EFE America, El Diario/La Prensa, Cosmopolitan Latina, and La Opinion. Additionally, within few weeks of its launch already had more than 300 experts subscribed to the service.

"The feedback we have received from reporters has been amazing," said Ordonez. "Not only have we already started helping journalists in the U.S., but we've already received requests from reporters in South America and Mexico looking for experts."

In addition to helping Hispanic journalists, Conectando Periodistas also assists English-speaking journalists find Latino sources. Requests from journalists can be submitted anonymously. Currently the service is free to both journalists and experts.
