A special message from CALÓ NEWS
“For too long, Latinos have been all but ignored by mainstream media, unless it involves crime or immigration. The mainstream media hardly cares about what issues are important to Latinos. Our readers demand more. They want news that informs, entertains and engages, but they want it via a Latino lens. We are here to provide that, and in doing so, we are rewriting our community's history.”
Daniel Vasquez
Managing Editor
“I took on the role as opinion editor at CALÓ NEWS so that I could become a gatekeeper. It’s an opportunity for me to write columns and editorials, but also a chance for me to amplify voices and publish other Latino/a/x writers. At CALÓ NEWS, we have elevated the voices of Latino/a/x journalists but also of Latino/a/x professors, doctors, activists, community leaders and students. In our first year and a half we have published more than 150 opinion pieces by more than 60 different writers, 90% of them Latino/a/x. I'm proud of what we have built and invite you to connect with us.”
