Hispanics news event-driven


The Pew Research Center released a study yesterday reporting that the majority of Hispanics in the media are portrayed in event-driven news, not through "focused coverage of the life and times of this population group."

The study, available here, is on journalism.org, the journalistic arm of the research center.

The biggest headlines, from February to August, were Sonia Sotomayor, the drug war in Mexico, H1N1 and immigration issues.

Only 57 stories analyzed focused on the lives of Hispanics in the U.S.

Newspapers were most likely to write about Hispanics, and they were least likely to be featured on cable television.

Read more key findings here.
