Latinx Media in the United States

Catalog description

This course guides students through an in-depth examination of U.S.-based Latinx and Spanish-language media by critically examining primary texts created by people who identify as members of the Latina/Latino/Latinx community, as well as media created by others about this community. The course provides a lens for understanding the highly varied needs and goals of various Spanish-language media markets around the country due to the specific experiences, perspectives, and cultural ideologies of the population each market serves. The course also introduces mediated communication from several U.S.-based markets. This class is taught in English.
