Telenoticias Washington DC is recognized for Outstanding Spanish Language Local TV Journalism

"This was an important series for us to air.  We wanted to explore the complexities of the issues in the region, especially as it relates to rights of gay couples.  It was essential that our viewers recognize that the LGBT community has the same dreams and aspirations as heterosexuals," commented Salazar.  "Both the LGBT and Hispanic community continue to make their voices heard on critical issues.  We are delighted to receive the recognition and more importantly, to continue the conversation with our audience," she added.

"We are honored to be recognized by GLAAD.  Together we are committed to sharing the stories of our community to promote greater understanding and acceptance," said Nicole Quiroga, Station Manager. "Congratulations to the Telenoticias team for the nomination!"
