Current Position

Location: St. Paul, Minnesota

Beat: Hispanic communities in Minnesota

Position:

Through personal engagement, this reporter builds trust with Latino communities across Minnesota to produce distinctive stories for and about this fast-growing population. In 1990, the state’s Hispanic population was 54,000. Today it is at least 270,000. The reporter will deepen the newsroom’s relationships with community members to help identify coverage areas that are important to them. The corps member covers stories not only about immigration but produces solutions-related pieces and profiles that help depict a more complete and nuanced picture of Latino Minnesotans than is currently reflected in mainstream media. Fluency in Spanish and statewide travel are required.
