Video Program Helps Immigrants Share their Stories

An innovative new media project called “Our City, Our Voices: Immigrant Newscasts in the Digital Age” is giving Latin American immigrants in Philadelphia the media tools to tell their own stories.
Through this project, people from Mexico to Chile, working as carpenters, cooks, laborers and nannies, and ranging in age from 16-60 will begin the process of creating mini-documentaries. The common denominator amongst these new media makers is to illustrate the challenges and hopes of leaving your home and living in a place that does not know your history.
The program trains immigrants to use the web, as well as offering them the tools — internet access and a computer — to get online and tell their stories through new media and video.

English: Official language of Pennsylvania

Remember the Geno’s Cheesesteak debaucle in Philly? Well, I’m sure Mr. Geno is smiling today as a new bill to make English the official language of Pennsylvania was passed yesterday in the state’s House.
The measure would make English Pennsylvania’s “official language” and require state and local governments to print official documents in English only. It passed 159-34.Supporters say the bill would save taxpayers money and, in the long run, help all nonEnglish-speaking residents by essentially forcing them to learn the language.
“It will help non English-speaking people become more assimilated into society and help them become more prosperous,” said Rep. Scott Boyd, a West Lampeter Township Republican.
