“We are very proud to support Chicas Poderosas,” said Maria Cristina Osorio, United’s director - international communications for Latin America.
The goal is to create a network of tech-savvy women in Latin American newsrooms, who will then organize training events in their own countries. Around 50 women journalists, media technologists and interactive designers from across the Americas will meet with professors, journalists and innovators at the Chicas Leadership Summit at Stanford University this month to receive technology training that will help them improve visual and interactive storytelling in Latin American media.
