Gathering Word Clouds of Language Data https://lnkd.in/d4wBJybq As hubs for diverse communities, our Colorado public libraries are proud to serve people of many different backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, and nationalities. Newcomers to Colorado can benefit greatly from services offered at public libraries and contribute valuable ideas and perspectives to our communities. However, language barriers can create significant challenges to reaching these populations. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, languages other than English are spoken in around 16% of homes across Colorado, and close to 6% of Colorado residents speak English “less than very well”. Public libraries can welcome these segments of the population by finding ways to communicate with […]

Latinos are leading the digital news consumption trend! According to the latest Pew Research Center investigation, nearly nine-in-ten Hispanic adults (87%) get their news from digital devices. This includes search engines (74%), news websites or apps (60%), social media (56%), and podcasts (31%). Latinos also show a significant preference for Instagram and TikTok, with 29% and 25%, respectively, using these platforms for news, far more than Non-Hispanic white Americans. This digital-first approach is especially popular among younger Latinos. News outlets that share their stories on social media are perfect places to promote your Law Firm’s success stories. Tu victoria es una gran noticia! Creating bilingual news articles tailored to the Hispanic community is key. While two-thirds of U.S. Latinos can read in Spanish, only 21% primarily consume news in Spanish. However, 41% of Latino immigrants get their news mainly in Spanish, compared to just 2% of U.S.-born Latinos. Income also influences news sources: 57% of lower-income Hispanic adults get news from Hispanic media outlets, compared to 29% of higher-income Hispanics. Hispanic News Media outlets are perfect places to promote your Law Firm’s success stories, especially those involving migrants. Highlighting migrant rights and protections can build trust and inspire confidence in your Law Firm. ¡Amplify Latino voices and watch your success soar! #LatinoPower #DigitalNews #SocialMediaNews #LawFirmMarketing #HispanicCommunity #BilingualSEO #LatinoTrends #Hispanic #Marketing #Community #StayInformed #Latina #noticias

Fellow Social Responsibility professionals, bear with me here and follow this train of thought. Failure to identify groups, their languages, their preferred communication mechanisms and styles, their ways of organizing, etc really undermines so many of our efforts. It’s a huge gap that we see across initiatives. Let’s say we want to see effective grievance mechanisms in place throughout the supply chains we are working with (thoughts on this “hot topic” at a later date—just using a concrete example here). How do you ensure whatever system in place will be technically accessible to the workforce? How do you make sure it’s set up in a way that workers would feel comfortable interacting with? Are workers able to surface their issues in their own language? Will it generate more—or totally undermine—TRUST? How do you evaluate whether or not it’s working? You can do none of this if you skip the step of identifying at a granular and deeply informed level the actual makeup of the workforce. And trust me… it can get COMPLEX—especially in sectors with high levels of migrant labor. This article highlights how failure to account for groups and languages in the census has serious voting (and thus election OUTCOMES) implications. It’s totally analogous, wouldn’t you agree? Side note, stay tuned to learn more as we launch a partnership with three fisheries in three different regions to collaborate on creating our own version of a worker/fisher “census” to close this gap in the FIP space. 😎🌊🎣 Gabrielle Lout, PhD Shannon Hardisty

A study by the Pew Research Center found nuances in how this bicultural and often bilingual set of the American population stays informed — and how many follow news closely.🌟 Dive into the latest insights on Latino/Hispanic news consumption! 📰 Whether you prefer English or Spanish, staying informed is key.

It's Fun Fact Friday! Today, immigrants constitute about 13.4% of the US population, which translates to approximately 44.7 million people. Interestingly, back in 1890, the immigrant population in the US peaked at 14.8% of the total population. Despite the narratives often portrayed in the news, it's intriguing to see that these figures haven't shifted significantly over the years. #esl #communication #communicationskills #businesscommunication #speakingskills #speakenglish

Center advisory board member and fellow at the Brown Information Futures Lab, Evelyn Perez-Verdia of We Are Más INTERCULTURAL MICRO-ENGAGEMENT AGENCY, discusses with NPR how trusted messengers can assist immigrant communities with information quality concerns. #disinformation #misinformation #democracy #socialmedia #digitalmedia #politics

Interesting findings, but not surprising. I do not know if they included Puerto Ricans in the survey, but I hope they did! In any case, this resonated with me: "Among Latino immigrants, those who have spent more years in the U.S. are less inclined than more recent arrivals to get news in Spanish, and more inclined to get it in English. There is little difference in the shares who get news in both languages about equally." I prefer to get my news in English, and from online newspapers. My reason is that I find Spanish-speaking media to be very biased. In my experience, the media monopoly of Univisión and Telemundo tend to present overtly conservative points of view, with little to no centrist or left-leaning opinions. Moreover, Spanish news media tend to *only* present opinions and not to just report facts. (Basically, Noticias Univisión is the equivalent of FOX News for Spanish-speaking households, in my opinion.) Local Spanish newspapers tend to be more fact-based, but they seldom publish things that are of interest beyond immigration-related news. I do read several newspapers from my home country, though, and they are all in Spanish. Anyway, if you are Latino/a/x, how do you interact with the news in the USA? Do you still read or listen to the news from your home country or heritage? What do you think of the national and the local iterations of the Univisión/Telemundo monopoly? I want to read your opinions. #news #noticias #Latino #Latina #Latin #Latinx #HispanicMedia #LatinMedia #NoticiasEnEspañol https://lnkd.in/gnyTtDg8
