August 7, 2025 3:00 PM
Room: 104
This session will focus on how we can realign the narrative surrounding Latinos in news, television, and film to reflect the real issues and challenges our communities face. For far too long, the portrayal of Latinos has been dominated by stereotypes that misrepresent the complexity of our lives, especially on issues like immigration, healthcare, education, and social justice. Panelists will discuss concrete steps and strategies for improving Latino representation, offering specific suggestions on how the media can tell more authentic stories. This conversation will provide actionable insights on how we can move beyond harmful portrayals and ensure that our voices are accurately and powerfully represented for future generations.
