"Latino media in Arizona have been on the front lines of this struggle covering this controversial law since it was first introduced in the Arizona State Legislature," said Ben Monterroso, national executive director of Mi Familia Vota Educations Fund. "For years Latino media outlets have captured with their cameras the effects that anti-immigrant and anti-Latino policies and legislation can have on the Latino community. With this program they have taken the steps necessary to unite the community and empower individuals with the information they need to defend their rights and take control of their own destinies."

Media executives gathered on Monday to announce plans for this special program during a press conference outside the Arizona State Capitol. "Hoy Somos Arizona" will consist of several news stories put together by participating media outlets focused on the following topics: A look at how we got here starting with Proposition 187 in California to the current U.S. Supreme Court decision on SB 1070; What's on the table?: A review of the four key provisions of the law and what they mean; Know your rights: An interview with a civil rights lawyer; and The impact of SB 1070 on families: An interview with a family separated by SB 1070. The show was taped outside the Arizona State Legislature where SB 1070 was first introduced in 2010. The show's presenters are Mary Rabago of Univision TV, Janet Rodriguez of Telemundo TV and Ossman Padilla of Azteca America TV.

This never-before-seen public awareness initiative includes a phone bank staffed by bilingual volunteers and civil rights attorneys standing by to answer callers' questions. The toll-free hotline number where people may call starting on Wednesday at 5 p.m. MST is 1-855-RESPETO or 1-855-737-7386. The roadblock will also help motivate eligible Latinos to write their own story in Arizona's history books through the ballot box. Information on how to register to vote and key election dates will be made available throughout the news program courtesy of Mi Familia Vota.

"For 30 minutes on Wednesday, words will become the best form of defense for Latinos everywhere worried about the effect that the Supreme Court's decision might have on their daily lives," said Tania Torres Marquez, executive producer of "Hoy Somos Arizona's" commercial-free broadcast. "This act of solidarity, unity and empowerment that 'Hoy Somos Arizona' represents will be a golden moment in our community."

"Hoy Somos Arizona" is comprised of 23 outlets under the following media companies (in alphabetical order): Azteca America TV, Entravision Radio, Estrella TV, La Onda, La Voz, Liberman Broadcasting, News Taco, Prensa Hispana, Radio Fiesta, TeleFutura, Telemundo TV, Univision Radio, Univision TV.

He explains the history of how a secret government operating illegally within our National Security system has maintained control of the media and secrecy for over 50 years. He served in the US Navy as a high speed code operator at the Naval Communication Station in San Francisco as well as combat action in Vietnam. An ex-radio broadcast engineer and ABC newsman, Dan has taken a keen interest in how the media has withheld disclosure of the full message to the public, a message based on the hundreds of credible military and intelligence witness testimonies.

* Fairfax to restructure Sydney Morning Herald, The Age

* About 1,900 jobs to go, sees annual savings of A$235 mln

* Media (Frankfurt: 725292 - news) sector in major shakeup, News Ltd seen cutting staff

MELBOURNE, June 18 (Reuters) - Australia's Fairfax Media (Munich: 884229 - news) , publisher of some of the country's leading newspapers, will overhaul its top mastheads and slash almost one-fifth of its staff, the beginning of a widespread shakeup of Australia's media sector.

The media industry's old guard is struggling with a massive shift online, declining advertising revenues for newspaper and TV, and shrinking market share for free-to-air TV as consumers' choices multiply for news and entertainment.

Fairfax - which publishes the 181-year-old Sydney Morning Herald, Australia's oldest newspaper, as well as the Australian Financial Review and Melbourne's The Age - said it will cut 1,900 jobs over three years from its staff of 10,000.

It will also shut two printing plants and reduce broadsheet newspapers to tabloid formats as it refocuses towards online distribution.

"All the world's newspaper companies are experimenting with what sustainability looks like," said Margaret Simons, the head of the University of Melbourne's Centre for Advanced Journalism.

FRANCE'S Socialists have won control of parliament, handing President Francois Hollande the convincing majority he needs to push through his tax-and-spend agenda to battle the eurozone debt crisis.

The Socialists' bloc obtained 314 seats - an absolute majority in the 577-seat National Assembly - and so will not need to rely on the Greens or the far left, according to official results.

The far-right National Front was set to return to parliament for the first time since 1998 after winning two seats in the south of the country, although party leader Marine Le Pen lost her own bid for a seat.

Mr Hollande, who defeated conservative Nicolas Sarkozy in the presidential election in May, had urged voters to give him the MPs he needs to steer France through the eurozone crisis, rising unemployment and a faltering economy.

"The task before us is immense," Hollande's Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said as results came in from the run-off vote. "Nothing will be easy."

Mr Sarkozy's UMP and its allies won 229 seats, the Socialist-allied Greens 17 seats and the far-left Left Front 10, according to final results released by the interior ministry yesterday.

While Mr Le Pen's anti-immigrant and anti-EU National Front (FN) was set to return two to four MPs to parliament, she will not be among them.

Mr Le Pen, who has said her success in the first-round parliamentary vote made her party France's "third political force", demanded a recount after she was narrowly defeated by a Socialist in a northern former mining constituency.

But the telegenic Le Pen nevertheless rejoiced in the overall success of her party, whose image she has fought to soften from the days of her father Jean-Marie's provocative outbursts.

"This is an enormous success," Marine Le Pen said in Henin-Beaumont.
