As it begins to ramp up the launch of its U.S. news channel, Al Jazeera America will be hosting a unique #OpenEditorial Google+ hangout this Friday June 28 at noon EST. The purpose of the hangout is simple: “Your stories. Your voice. Al Jazeera America wants to know which stories you think the national media has missed and need to be covered.” (Full disclosure: our founder @julito77 will be joining Al Jazeera’s “The Stream” next week as a Digital Producer.)

Here are more details about the G+ hangout:

1. You can RSVP to the event on G+ here.
2. Submit your story ideas on the G+ page or use #OpenEditorial.
3. If your submission is chosen, you will be asked to join us in a live Google+ Hangout, this Friday, June 28, at 12pm ET / 9am PT with Lisa Fletcher, host of “The Stream.”

Editorial crowdsourcing is something Latino Rebels strongly supports. Don’t miss out on your chance to pitch a story you believe in.
