They represented a diverse group of American Postal Work- ers Union (APWU) members, current and retired post office employees and supporters who, armed with picket signs and loud- speakers, came to publicize their outrage at a partnership that blos- somed last year between the Unit- ed States Postal Service (USPS) and Staples.

Latino encounters with media systems have generally taken place on three levels: Anglo media, Spanish language media, and bilingual/bicultural media. The English language or Anglo media have portrh7ed the Latino with negative stereotypes and reported Latino new.= everts and culture with white middle class bias. Latinos are underrepresented in employment by these inaustries. Spanish language media, particularly newspapers, have a long history dating back to 1808. Spanish language broadcasting experienced growth during the 1970s, but most radio and television broadcasting stations are owned and managed by Anglos, staffed by Latin Americans rather than local Latinos, and depend heavily on imported programs produced and aired in Latin America. Bilingual/bicultural media are directed at the Latino audience in English or a combination of'Spanish and English, and this format is becoming more apparent in traditional media. Given the current and projected grouth of the Latino population, it is clear that it will continue to have an impact on existing and developing media.(ETH) *********************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Journalism Comprehensive Review FA17-Working
    Instructional Comprehensive Program Review LMC Comprehensive Program Review Instructional Units 2017-2018 Journalism Program The following provides an outline of the required elements for a comprehensive unit/program review for Instructional Programs and Units. Upon completion of this report, please upload your document in the unit/program review application data/documents tab. 1. Program Changes 1.1. How have your degree and certificate offerings changed over the last 5 years? (e.g. new programs, discontinued or major changes to existing programs) We added an AAT in Journalism that has more than doubled the number of degrees awarded each year. Historically, LMC had awarded one or two Journalism AA degrees a year. The 2012- 17 data is consistent with that number — 10 AAs were awarded during that time frame for an average of two per year. But during the same five-year period, 18 AATs were awarded, making the total 28 Journalism degrees conferred. 1.2. What changes are you planning to your degree and certificate offering over the next 5 years? What is the rationale for the anticipated changes? Will these changes require any additional resources? When we created the AAT in Journalism, we wrote a new course in Photojournalism that transfers as an undergraduate major requirement at the CSUs. To mitigate expected lower enrollment it was written as a course cross-listed with Documentary Photography in the Art Department. We are jointly experimenting with a change in scheduling from offering it once a year in the spring to once a year in the fall. Additionally, once the state-level review of the Journalism AAT degree is completed by the Faculty Discipline Review Group (FDRG) later this year we will compare it with our Journalism AAT degree at LMC to see whether any changes have been made that necessitate revision locally.

The history of Acción Latina began with the founding of El Tecolote in 1970, the longest continuously published Spanish/English bilingual newspaper in California that addresses regional, national and international issues affecting Latino communities in San Francisco. In 1971, the volunteers working on the newspaper incorporated as a 501(c)(4) organization under the name “Espina del Norte Publishing Company” and continued to publish El Tecolote. By 1987, Espina del Norte Publishing Company incorporated as a 501(c)(3) under the name Acción Latina. The mission of the organization is “to promote cultural arts, community media and civic engagement as a way of building healthy and empowered Latino communities.” This mission is carried out in the form of hosting performing and literary arts events; operating a community art gallery; producing a free, bilingual, biweekly newspaper; and managing an extensive collection of archival materials that chronicle the Latino experience in San Francisco since 1970. The organization produces cultural and arts events, including visual arts exhibitions.
