Elevating Latinos in news narratives about racial justice
Research has found that most U.S. residents do not recognize the contributions that Latinos, the nation’s largest ethnic minority, make to society or understand the barriers they face. Making people more aware of these realities can encourage more U.S. policymakers, leaders, and the public to support expanded access to opportunities for everyone — including Latino communities. One way to increase awareness and spur action is to elevate coverage of Latinos in the news media.
