Session Description:
This session features discussion with television and publishing professionals working in the Washington D.C. region. Hispanic-oriented media have become more diverse and influential within U.S. society. They have recently experienced the same churn as other sectors, but with additional uncertainty stemming from rapid demographic, cultural and linguistic shifts as well as political and economic threats to their audiences. The expert panelists will offer assessments of the current state of Hispanic media in an era of hyper-competition, big data, stark political partisanship, and allegations of fake news. They will also look to the future, identifying likely trends and opportunities. The breakfast co-sponsors, the Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth law firm and the Thomas Jay Harris Institute for Hispanic & International Communication at Texas Tech University, are committed to opening spaces for dialogue among scholars, media practitioners and policymakers in key forums such as the Minorities and Communication Division of AEJMC.
