The Latino Digitial Divide: a Presentation for #LATISM ‘11

BY: JASON A. LLORENZ, ESQ.

This week, I will be leading a panel in Chicago for LATISM – an online community of Latinos in Social Media, as a part of their annual conference. LATISM is made up of thousands of Latino social media participants — bloggers, tweeters, and online conversants who use social media to build community online under the hashtag, #LATISM.
