Congratulations to Irene Tostado of RadioArte!

Irene Tostado of Radio Arte has been named Youth Media Professional of the Month by YM Reporter. Kudos! See the piece on her here. Couple highlights:
+ Irene has a degree in Communications, Spanish and Sociology from Loyola University. While at Loyola’s Center for Urban Research and Learning (CURL) she coordinated an evaluation project involving the Native American community in the Uptown neighborhood, the Native American Health Center and Mayor Daley’s Domestic Violence HELP Hotline.
+ Irene became involved in immigration advocacy (after an encounter between immigration officials and her family) and works to raise awareness among Latinos about changing legislation affecting immigrants.
+ Irene is the Training Program Director for Radio Arte 90.5fm and produces two ‘live’ radio programs – “Without Borders” for Radio Arte and “Stereotipo” for La Kalle 103.1 and 93.5fm. She also writes for “Extra Newspaper” and “La Raza.”

Sounds like a well-deserved honor!
