Latinos in media

Latinos in media refer to the representation and portrayal of people of Latin American heritage in television, film, and advertising. This includes actors, characters, and stories that reflect Latino culture, experiences, and perspectives. Increased visibility aims to promote diversity, challenge stereotypes, and ensure authentic storytelling. However, Latinos have historically been underrepresented or misrepresented in mainstream media, which can influence public perceptions and societal attitudes. Efforts continue to improve accurate, nuanced portrayals that honor the richness and diversity of Latino identities.
