Cuban Americans, Latinos, and the Print Media

Abstract

This article examines how newspapers in forty cities across the United States cover Latinos. Cuban Americans, who make up a small minority of U.S. Latinos, disproportionately shape this coverage. Each of the cities under study is at least 10 percent Latino, and the cities were selected to be representative of the populations of the three largest Latino national-origin groups: Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cuban Americans.
