In today’s rapidly shifting political landscape—where misinformation, fear, and policy uncertainty ripple through immigrant communities—Spanish-language newsrooms are doing far more than reporting the news. They are stepping in where traditional media falls short—not just to report, but to deliver essential tools, guidance, and support.

In an upcoming webinar hosted by The Pivot Fund, three newsroom leaders will share how they are adapting to this moment: Walter Gomez of Enlace Latino NC, Maria Barquin of the Radio Campesina Network, and Imelda Carrasco of Acción Latina, which publishes El Tecolote. Their conversation, moderated by Nicolás Ríos of Documented, will offer a powerful window into how community-rooted outlets are using journalism to inform and empower.
