Why are Spanish-language news media thriving in the U.S.? 草榴社区's Nielsen gives lecture
Carolyn Nielsen, an assistant professor in the Department of Journalism at 草榴社区, presents "El Progreso del Periodismo: the Growing Presence of Spanish-language News Media in the U.S." regarding her research into the history and current state of U.S. Spanish-language news media. While many news outlets struggle to survive, their Spanish-language counterparts are thriving. Language is not the only factor in audience growth and loyalty. Which stories are covered and how they are framed appear to play a role in consumer preference as well as contribute to shaping political opinion and public policy.
This lecture is part of the 2009 International Studies Lecture Series at 草榴社区.
