Esther J. Cepeda Media Archive

Reporter on deadline? I can help!

Colleagues,

I've put up this resource for media and press so that all my media "clips" are easily categorized and available in one place.

If you're looking for my columns, please go to http://www.estherjcepeda.com

Read my bio  here.

This spot will contains completely up-to-date media clips, audio/video clips, high quality jpeg headshots, and exemplars of my best work.

I hope you've noticed I'm endlessly quotable on all the subjects on http://www.estherjcepeda.com: Latino issues, health, education, politics, culture and current events.

I'm also available to comment on matters of marketing, women in media, minority journalists, the faltering newspaper industry, the importance of arts and culture organizations in civic life, and just about anything else you can think of.

 

If you're on deadline for this evening and need that last quote to put a sparkle in your article, email me  ejc@estherjcepeda.com and I'll get your message on my iPhone, which is glued to my side.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy reporting!
