	"description": "Our families deserve smart, educational, and pro-Black news coverage from our Spanish-language television networks. The two largest Spanish-language media conglomerates in the United States, NBC Telemundo Enterprises and Univision Communications, are failing the Latino community in their coverage of the current crisis of police violence against Black people and the protests organized in response. Even the limited coverage in English-language media from the partner and parent companies of Telemundo and Univision have broader and more inclusive coverage of the moment, contrasting with the content from Spanish-language media. Their coverage stands in stark contrast to what we are seeing in mainstream English media - even from the network’s partner and parent companies respectively. These two networks are the main source of information for millions of Latino households. By producing news programming and content that focuses on negative depictions of protesters, that fails to cover the systematic causes of anti-Black police violence, and that makes no effort at centering the voices of Black people in their coverage the networks have contributed to the Latino community’s skewed and incomplete understanding of the current crisis. Their coverage feeds into anti-Black stereotypes that have historically existed in the Latino community, which in the extreme can and have been used as justification for anti-Black violence and which serves to further divide us. This political crisis is an opportunity for the Univision and Telemundo networks to be a source of education. It is not enough to leave talking about the systemic causes of anti-Blackness up to the few Afro-Latino staff or weekend coverage. News programming could be shifted to help the Spanish-speaking Latino public understand why police violence against Black people has gone unaddressed and how these systems and violence also have deep impacts in the lives of Black and brown Latino people - both those who are immigrant and U.S-born. We urge the Univision and Telemundo networks to shift their news programming by: Demand about STORY Demand about STORYTELLERS AND LEADERSHIP Demand about PLATFORM (Townhall)",
