Latino Strategies: Media and the Public Good
April 7, 2006
Over the decades, scholars and professionals have launched successful projects that have challenged mainstream assumptions about Latino audiences and consumers, Latino content in broadcast and print news, entertainment programming and documentaries.
These efforts have advanced the knowledge about Latinos in the academic and public realms. This symposium brings together experts from across the nation who work in mass communication/journalism research and Latino/Chicana studies. As well, the event highlights award-winning media professionals who address questions such as: What are we all doing to improve the media? What are Latinos doing to improve the media? How are these strategic improvements good for U.S. Latinos as well as the general public?
