Telemundo and NBC News are now coming together for coverage of the United States election with a platform called 'YODECIDO,' or 'I Decide.'
The digital media site targets young millennials between the ages of 18 to 34, especially because it's estimated that "50,000 Hispanics turn 18 and become eligible to vote each month," and this group plays a huge part in deciding the future of the country.
There are several ways to tune into the content shared through #YODECIDO. The 2016 presidential race can be viewed through social TV, the Hispanic news app for the Apple Watch, or even a dedicated WhatsApp channel. Award-winning anchors María Celeste Arrarás and José Díaz-Balart will be leading the coverage, while 10 correspondents will also be contributing to news stories on the presidential race.
