Editor's Note: Odette Keeley, news anchor for "Stories From The Ethnic Media" on NAM's radio program, "New America Now" on 91.7 FM KALW, talks to ethnic media professionals about their outlets' news headlines and their take on the news of the day.
This week on "Stories From the Ethnic Media": Pakistanis feel under siege; and Spanish-language media publishers go to the White House.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit to Pakistan last week was marred by a powerful car bomb. It killed a hundred people and injured 200 in Peshawar. Pakistan Link columnist Dr. Nazir Khaja and also founder of the Council of Pakistani American Affairs describes the unrelenting violence in Pakistan as a protracted 9/11; and at a major summit of the National Association of Hispanic Publications or NAHP in Washington, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that the Senate had declared last week as National Hispanic Media Week. The resolution recognized the valuable contributions of Latino newspaper owners and publishers representing almost 1,400 Hispanic newspapers and magazines. They have a combined circulation of almost 50 million. Editor-in-chief Judith Martinez-Sadri of Atlanta Latino newspaper believes the NAHP is a crucial bridge between their audiences and D.C.
