Recruiting
Reporters for Proyecto Visión
By Rosangela Berman Bieler, IID (projvision@aol.com) |
One of the sessions of the conference was designed to recruit reporters for the Proyecto Visión website newsmagazine. According to its project, Visión will be paying reporters from all the different regions of the country to cover topics related to employment of Latinos with disabilities, best practices, success stories, services and resources. The idea of the project is that at least five project reporters will be recruited and trained to produce articles for Visión and approximately 15 others per year will be groomed to conduct disability awareness and basic disability employment legislation training to a wide variety of Hispanic community-based organizations, agencies and businesses. Additionally, WID will broaden its recruitment efforts to find project interns from within the Hispanic community to work in the project. The project paid reporters, will regularly submit articles about employment possibilities, success stories, new resources, etc. The session was led by the editors of Proyecto Visión's website, and counted with the presence of ten conference participants interested to know more about the positions. For the second year of Proyecto Visión, reporters will be selected and recruited and this will generate a broader coverage of the situation of Latinos with disabilities in the U.S. while opening training and job opportunities for the group. During the session, participants shared personal experiences as writers and information disseminators and offered resources and other kinds of collaboration to Proyecto Visión.
