To that end, in 2010, she created Futuro Media, an independent, nonprofit organization based in Harlem, NYC with the mission to create multimedia content for and about the new American mainstream in the service of empowering people to navigate the complexities of an increasingly diverse and connected world. Hinojosa&#8217;s nearly 30-year career as an award-winning journalist includes reporting for PBS, CBS, WNBC, CNN and NPR.\u00a0 As a reporter for NPR, Hinojosa was among the first to report on youth violence in urban communities on a national scale. During her eight years as CNN&#8217;s urban affairs correspondent, Hinojosa often took viewers into communities rarely shown on television. At Futuro Media, Hinojosa continues to bring attention to experiences and points of view that are often overlooked or underreported in mainstream media, all while mentoring the next generation of diverse journalists to delve into authentic and nuanced stories.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <b>President&#8217;s Award: <span class=\"xn-person\">Enrique Santos<\/span><br \/><\/b><span class=\"xn-person\">Enrique Santos<\/span> is Chairman\u00a0and Chief Creative Officer of iHeart Latino.

His bilingual broadcasts are a crossover hit combining humor, social satire, and political commentary to bridge the cultural and generational divide of a diverse cosmopolitan audience. Enrique&#8217;s extravagant radio persona has made him one of the most popular Hispanic radio hosts in America and earned him unprecedented access to some of the biggest names in pop culture. No matter how busy his schedule, Santos has never lost his community ties and continues volunteering as a Reserve Police officer for The <span class=\"xn-location\">City of Miami<\/span> Police Department.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n    <b>Pioneer of the Year: <span class=\"xn-person\">Rosanna M.
