Resources and Research
This section guides your explorations for resources and research related to Latinos and media. The featured component is the Latinos and News Media Database, which currently contains bibliographic listings and annotations of 263 items that can be searched by author, title, source type, and topic. The Professors section is another valuable resource, be it for networking or to take into consideration as you ponder educational options. It lists the names, locations and e-mail addresses of scholars conducting studies or teaching courses about this topic. The third resource, which will be expanded on a regular basis, is the list of web sites that may provide additional information about Latinos and media. The research subsection will provide synopses of projects currently being conducted about Latinos and media across the country.
Journalism Award Winners
Journalism Award Winners is the showcase section of this web site; it presents the Award Winning Latino Journalists. Check it out for Latinos who have won Pulitzer, NAHJ, Sigma Delta Chi, NCLR and other awards. For each of these awards, Latino winners' names, brief biographies, and many of their respective prized stories are listed. These distinguished journalists are listed in alphabetical order, by year they won an award, and by selected categories of awards. This section's content should be valuable for current or aspiring journalists seeking examples of distinguished journalism work, or Latino role models in this field. In future updates, Latino journalists who have won other prizes will also be featured.
