If Latinos are to have ownership of Media, then our opinions must be heard. But many times individuals become frustrated when letter after letter that they send to a newspaper never gets published.
The Minnesotano Media Empowerment Project's goal is to organize Editorial teams made up of individuals within the community that are trained and share the task of keeping up continuous pressure to media sources to publish their opinions. These editorial teams will be ready to respond to negative ad campaigns, biased and superficial reporting, or any other coverage that paints a skewed picture of Latinos in Minnesota.
If you are interested in becoming a member of an Editorial team in your area, whether you are in the Twin Cities or outstate, please e-mail mmediap@umn.edu.
