Latinos and News Media Database
The grant that enabled the launch of LAMP also supported the development of the Latinos and News Media Database. Compiled by a team of researchers under the supervision of Professor Federico Subervi, this database contains a comprehensive bibliography and annotations of books, magazines, reports, popular and academic journal articles, and newspaper stories related to this topic. The database, which may be searched by author, title, source type, and topic, was last updated in April 2000, when the Latinos and News Media Database report was completed for the NAHJ and the NCLR.

Diversity Disconnects: From Class Room to News Room
"Diversity Disconnects: From Classroom to Newsroom" is a two-year study headed by Professor Mercedes Lynn de Uriarte of The University of Texas at Austin Department of Journalism and funded by the Ford Foundation. It contends a major reason for the news media’s failure is because its efforts and energies have been directed solely toward newsroom integration, putting the burden of diversifying news coverage on minority journalists.
