NBC Universal and NBC News have launched a Hispanic-aimed news and lifestyle website in English, NBCLatino.com. The website will feature content within lifestyle categories like family, food, education, politics and more, all with a Hispanic angle. NBCLatino.com is being launched as a preview to the English-language news and lifestyle network by Univision and ABC News set to debut in 2013. Contributions for the site will be taken from various NBC News Holdings including Today, Nightly News MSNBC, msnbc.com, as well as Spanish-language broadcaster Telemundo.”The goal of NBC Latino is to take Hispanic news beyond the usual conversation, toward something more inspired, empowered and energized; to tell and reflect the Hispanic-American story with authentic voices, and make NBC the brand of choice for Hispanics across mobile, online and TV” said Chris Peña, executive editor of NBC Latino. Peña will oversee a staff of bilingual writers and producers at NBC’s headquarters in New York City.
