From La Prensa:
Louis Desipio, an associate professor of political science at the University of California,
Irvine, suggests looking at Spanish-language publications and broadcasts to find broader
coverage of Latinos. He, too, notes that U.S.-Latin American relations are important
but often overlooked in coverage dominated by nations with which the United States
is in conflict or that are in crisis. Rather than identify themselves as Latino or
Hispanic, Desipio says, many people identify instead with their country of origin
and its relationship with the United States.
