Spanish Radio Getting Big Boost

Never underestimate the power of Spanish-language radio, which continues to receive a huge national media boost after playing a critically important role in turning out more than a million people to pro-immigration rallies across the nation, starting weeks ago in Chicago and peaking last week in Los Angeles.

Today's edition of The Washington Post take a local look at the story angle that took off in Los Angeles and has boosted interest in the power of the Spanish-language radio format across the nation.

Click [here] for today's metro story by
Karin Brulliard. (The Post's Peter Slevin has a fascinating front-pager on the immigration issue seen through the lense of residents of the State of Georgia. See that story [here].)

Previous stories are below:

San Francisco Chronicle [here]

The Desert Sun [here]

Los Angeles Times [here]

The New York Times [here]

Associated Press [here]

And the Chicago Tribune story by journalist Oscar Avila that started this media trend
(bravo man!) two weeks before these other stories [here]

The Spanish-language radio operators should give Mr. Avila, or at least his publisher, a cut from all the money they'll bring after all this favorable media coverage.
