When journalists have to cover news that particularly affect or interest Latino communities, we cannot overlook providing the needed context. We cannot assume that everyone is aware of the history, reasons and figures that provide a more accurate picture of what is being discussed. This is why we make an effort to include context in every article; every opportunity we have to explain the complex issues, laws and phenomena that impact them.
In the guide for journalists on how to better meet the information needs of these communities that we are building, we emphasize that the data and information sources should not be overlooked. These sources can include organizations, researchers and experts, both public and private, that provide context to the facts.
