A standing-room-only crowd of students, faculty, staff, and community members showed up to watch Merced's first public screening of the film Latinos Beyond Reel on January 28. I moderated a lively discussion about what effects these representations have, and what it might take to change Latino representation in film and popular media.
Dr. Federico Subervi from Kent State University spoke about who makes the news and how Latinos and Latino issues are systematically excluded from the mainstream media.
