Rivero Introduced by Sherman Wildman, Guest Speaker SALVADOR HASBUN, President of El Vocero, told of how his newspaper went from bankruptcy to the Number One market leader in Puerto Rico. His talk entitled, "Pay Attention to the Winds of Change", detailed how the exchange of information has become social media, movie theaters to Netflix, Airbnb vs. hotels, to name just a few. In short, everything is changing. His question was, "Are you prepared to change"? Our speaker began his career in the Dominican Republic as a disc jockey, moved on to print media becoming the General Manager of The San Juan Star, and in 2013 taking over El Vocero, where he also published the English Weekly Journal. With the retreating threat of the Covid virus, it will be interesting to see how much of the "new normal" will remain our everyday experience. |
