LatinaLista — Today, I received sad news that a colleague, Carlos Guerra, had died. Carlos was a former columnist with the San Antonio Express-News and after he left the newspaper he did what most retired or laid-off journalists do — kept writing.
The luxury for a journalist not working for a newspaper is that he/she can write about whatever they want. For Carlos though, I don’t think that was ever a problem.
While he could have enjoyed his retirement, he instead embarked on a new journalistic quest. He, along with some friends, created a site called NewsTaco. Carlos was devoting a lot of his writings to what most independent Latino journalists are writing about these days — immigration reform and the DREAM Act.
