PRSUN TV TO AIR IN THE BRONX

Check out PRSUN TV, a new monthly cultural arts/news show aimed at informing, empowering and community. This bilingual (mostly English) half-hour show, produced by independent producer/journalist Clarisel Gonzalez, will start airing tomorrow on Bronxnet.

Lineup:

TOPIC: BLOGS and the Boricua/Latino presence
Show puts a special focus on Latino photobloggers who recently featured their work at a BLOGS exhibition at MediaNoche in Spanish Harlem. Photographers featured in the exhibit are members of the Puerto Rico Sun, NYC Exposition and East Harlem blogs. Judith Escalona, director of PRDream/MediaNoche, speaks to PRSUN TV on the BLOGS exhibit at the MediaNoche multimedia gallery.

"Blogs represent a rupture in the way photographs are traditionally exhibited and sold, allowing the presentation of over 1,000 works in MediaNoche's space and converting viewers into bloggers who can interact with the printless photographs on display," Escalona said.

Gonzalez, also a photoblogger, was curator of the BLOGS exhibit at MediaNoche.

REMEMBER

Tune in:
WHAT: PRSUN TV
WHEN: 12:30 p.m. Dec. 22
WHERE: Bronxnet's Channel 69
(Bronxnet is the community/public access station in the Bronx.)

Hey,
I've enjoyed the photoblog (it's the only one I know about) for the last few weeks. I got here from Vivian Lake's blog. Anyway, if you ever do a show on Puerto Rican writers from the Bronx, don't forget me. Steven Torres, author of the Precinct Puerto Rico novels.

Thanks and keep up the work with the beautiful pictures.
