The UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute (LPPI) and Arizona State University’s Center for Latina/os and American Politics Research (CLAPR) invite you to a webinar on how to strengthen Latino representation in newsrooms and shift toward more inclusive, accurate, and empowering media coverage.
Grounded in findings from the newly released issue brief authored by Francisco Pedraza, associate professor at ASU and the director of CLAPR, which analyzes over 13 million newspaper articles from 2020 to 2023, this conversation will move beyond identifying disparities to explore practical strategies for change—inside and outside the newsroom.
Date: Wednesday, July 23, 2025
Time: 11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET
Via Zoom
Panelists:
- Francisco I. Pedraza, Director, ASU CLAPR
- Julio Ricardo Varela, editor, The Latino Newsletter
- Katya Mendoza, reporter, AZ Public Media
- Astrid Galván, editor, Axios Texas
- Misael Galdámez, senior policy analyst, UCLA LPPI
Join us to learn and discuss how representation behind the byline can reshape how Latino communities are seen, heard, and understood in public life.
We hope to see you there!
