Welcome to the blog that accompanies the text "Hispanics in the Media: More than 200 Years of Spanish-Language Influence in U.S. Communications." Hello, I'm Dr. Manuel Flores, chair of the Department of Communications/Theatre Arts and Associate Professor of Communications/Journalism at Texas A&M Kingsville. I'm thrilled and honored that you chose my textbook for this academic adventure that tries to set history straight on the contributions of Hispanics to journalism and the American experience.
Now that your students have read the foreword, they are ready to continue the course. The book is designed for a graduate level course but can be adapted to a 4000-level course format. The book and class are designed to provide the student with historically accurate information about the impact of Spanish-language media in the Untied States and to develop an appreciation for diversity and different cultures what make up our United States. The course will cover the beginnings of Spanish-language journalism in what is now the United States and attempt to leave an impression of the struggles many pioneer journalists had to endure in order to ensure that their communities were treated with dignity and respect all citizens and residents of this country should receive. This course is not a history of Mexican media or any other country outside to the United States. This course will reveal a part of American history which, for the most part, has remained uncovered for more than two centuries. The people and events we will review in this course are part of the history of our great nation. I believe it is way past time to acknowledge their contributions and to learn about the impact Hispanics have in the media and in the every day fabric of our country.
Again, it is a pleasure to have you use this book for your class. Here are my digits, as young people say today (do they still say this?).
