Description: "Making Latino News examines Latino newsmaking as part of a larger narrative - the cultural productions and conceptions of Latinos. Author America Rodriguez traces historical and commercial contexts of Latino-oriented news production, beginning with late 19th century and early 20th century U.S. Spanish language newspapers. She also examines the production of contemporary Latino news in Spanish and English as well as bilingually and postulates future developments in the field.

Finally, she explores how news is produced in both print and broadcast media for the vast Latino population in the United States, using a cutting-edge blend of the quantitative and qualitative approaches in her research."--BOOK JACKET.
