Aug. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- VOXXI, the premier site for independent news, analysis and commentary with a Hispanic focus, is providing extensive coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa (August 27-30) and the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte (September 4-6).  VOXXI’s award-winning political team will showcase Hispanic leadership and analyze the key issues at stake for Latino voters during the 2012 election.

“VOXXI’s coverage of the Republican and Democratic Conventions will help Latino voters make more informed decisions about the presidential candidates,” said Emilio C. Sanchez, president and editor-in-chief of VOXXI. “Our political team is uniquely positioned to bring depth and context to the issues that matter to all Americans, especially to Hispanics, and we will be relentless in our unbiased coverage of both political conventions.”

VOXXI’s in-depth convention reporting includes profiles of prominent Hispanic headliners and examines the role of Latinos and their impact on this year’s convention and more.  Also extending the reach of coverage is VOXXI’s recent content sharing policy under the Creative Commons license, encouraging all media to use its convention content.

“Providing wider access to VOXXI’s stories is truly how we will change the way Latinos are perceived in the mainstream,” said Elaine de Valle, national political editor of VOXXI, referring to the content sharing policy, adding that it will broaden the exposure of the role and importance of U.S. Hispanics.  De Valle, a Pulitzer Prize-winner with 20 years of government and political coverage experience, will be leading a six-member staff on the ground in Tampa and Charlotte, and will be supported by correspondents on the West Coast and in D.C.

The ‘Republican Convention’ coverage includes daily video briefings, analysis, live tweeting and reporting. Coverage kicked off this week with profiles of Latino leaders including: Sen. Marco Rubio, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño.  In addition to in-depth political analysis, VOXXI is providing a local restaurant guide recommendations: ‘Five must visit Tampa bars’ and ‘The Taco Bus revolution: A taste of Tampa food culture.’
