Hispanic Newspapers

This entry discusses newspapers addressed to U.S. communities of Latin American origin that provide information about any topic from the perspective of these communities. These newspapers, mostly written by Hispanic Americans (often referred to as Latinos and Latinas), began in print form.

Most of them are published in Spanish, although some are bilingual or only in English. This entry focuses, first, on the [Page 747]evolution of Hispanic newspapers and their role in society and, second, on how these newspapers are produced and distributed.
