Today CNET will announce a partnership with Univision called CNET Tecnologia. As part of this partnership, myself and the New York CNET TV crew will be producing weekly news shows in Spanish. You can find my first one here.

I have to admit, I found this assignment of producing regular news shows for Univision to be daunting. I really wanted my Spanish to sound perfect and I wanted to make sure I used the correct terminology when it came to writing about technology in Spanish. Fortunately, the managing editor for Univision, is a great resource. I sent him my first script and he sent it back with very helpful edits. This first video was supposed to be a trial run but he liked it enough to publish it live.

To my Spanish-speaking friends and relatives, this is by far my biggest accomplishment. Hispanohablantes don’t have several news networks to choose from, they just have Univision. It is THE place to go for information. My mother was so proud when she saw it, she called me and said, “Oh, my baby, she’s speaking Spanish!” My sister wrote me an email and said, “You’d think we don’t have English-speaking parents!”

I will be producing one of these per week. It will basically be a weekly version of Loaded, rather than a daily version like the English show. Even though there will only be one per week, it will probably take me just as long to write the Spanish version at first. Plus, filming in Spanish is not as easy just yet but, as my dad said, “that’s just a matter of court time.” So please enjoy my first few steps onto this court.
