If there's one thing I can tell you definitively about the future of journalism, it's that young people of the present will be the leaders of that future.

Those in college now, who have recently finished college, or maybe a few years out of college, they're the leaders of tomorrow. There are a lot of questions about what that future will look like, but these folks have the creativity, innovative mindset and smarts to take journalism to places it's never been before.

These are the Millennials. They grew up with computers, instant messaging on AIM, using Facebook in school, they're not afraid to communicate in GIFs or acronyms, and they're poised to do great things in the future. That's why they're worth watching. And that's why I thought I'd put together a list of them.

Thanks to some crowdsourcing help on Twitter and Facebook, here are more than 100 young people to watch in the social media and journalism space going forward. These people have bright futures ahead of them!

Latinos are very proud of their culture and moreover of the stars that represent them in front of the world. However, sometimes in an effort to celebrate and support their own, stars with ambiguous heritage get labeled as Latino.

So, what does it means to be a Latino? How much Latin blood you need to have running through your veins in order to be considered part of the community? Who decides who is Hispanic and who is not?

Instead of answering these questions, we preferred to ask you what your take is on this. Are these stars really Latino in your eyes? Let us know!

Mariah Carey   The singer explained her heritage in detail during an interview with George Lopez.

"Here is what I am. My mother is Irish, she is like the queen of Ireland, she loves Ireland. My father is black, he grew up in Harlem as an African American man. His father's mother, my great grandmother is Venezuelan," Carey said.

"We got a little piece for us. Latinos have a little of Mariah Carey... Even if you've just sang 'La Bamba' we would still claim you," said Lopez.

Do you agree?
