About, By, and For
In 1979, National Public Radio (NPR) established its Department of Specialized Audience Programs, a dedicated unit responsible for the acquisition, development, and production of minority programming. For over a decade, the Department of Specialized Audience Programs operated as a semi-autonomous unit until it was absorbed into NPR’s general news division and later dissolved. Previous scholarship has suggested that NPR has been subject to economi…

Cracking the Code
Within film industry discourses, U.S. Latinxs are said to be important to the future of Hollywood due to their sheer size and buying power. However, Latinxs remain underrepresented both in front of and behind the camera. Focusing on Lionsgate as a case study, I examine how studio executives have discursively constructed the “Latino audience” and the degree to which this construction allows for films that are oppositional to hegemonic narratives. …
Resistance in Song Form
In 2010, National Public Radio (NPR) launched Alt.Latino, a music-oriented podcast that showcases Latin Alternative artists while addressing current political, social, and cultural issues. Compared to NPR’s general news programming, Alt.Latino reflects a more progressive politics, taking a critical view of global capitalism while offering a sympathetic view of those left out. This is most evident in the show’s approach to immigration, which has b…
Whose is the voice of the American public? Latinx speech and the standard language ideology of public radio
When National Public Radio (NPR) was originally founded, the network was designed to represent the diverse population of the United States. In recent years, Latinxs have become a growing part of the American electorate, but the degree to which NPR incorporates Latinx speech into its on-air broadcasts remains uncertain. Using a case study approach, I argue that NPR employs broadcast practices that privilege white, educated, middle-class listeners …
Branding the Revolution
Focusing on Havana Club as a case study, we examine how an authentic Cuba has been discursively constructed by agents embedded within different political ideologies. Our research centers on advertising produced in 2015–2016, when two competing rum marketers were laying claim to the Havana Club brand: Havana Club International, an enterprise of the Cuban state, and Bacardi, a global corporation. Previous research has found that the tensions betwee…
Selling Subversion
When An African City, an online television series produced in Ghana, debuted in 2014, the show immediately garnered a following, both within Ghana and abroad. The success of An African City demonstrates not only the capacity for independent filmmakers to reach global markets in the digital age, but by subverting dominant narratives about Africa it also suggests that, under certain conditions, creating counter-hegemonic narratives can be economica…
Latinidad and Consumer Culture
Latinidad refers to Native American, European, black, and Asian peoples in Latin America, the United States, and the Caribbean as well the Mediterranean and a few Southeast Asian nations, such as the Philippines. In the context of consumer culture, Latinidad faces both opportunities and challenges as market transformations privilege some aspects of identity and culture at the expense of others. Furthermore, as transnational corporations have beco…
News with an Accent”
Using Bourdieu's concept of “linguistic capital” as an analytical concept, I examine the value of language as both a means of comprehension and a product that has currency in the television marketplace. Focusing on Fusion, an upstart cable network designed to engage Latinos civically and in English, I examine the ways in which television networks employ language as a device through which to create audiences. I argue that Fusion and other networks…
Linguistic Capital and the Currency of Spanish in Hispanic Advertising Production
This study examines how advertising intended for U.S. Latinos is indelibly shaped by the interaction between Hispanic agencies and their English monolingual clients. Although previous research on Hispanic advertising has typically focused on the psychological state of the speaker, less attention has been paid to the social consequences of speech. Using Bourdieu’s theory of practice as an analytical framework, qualitative interviews were conducted…
Hispanic agencies and profits of distinction
This project examines the advertising industry as a self-governing space that is guided by its own internal logics, but is nonetheless influenced by social dynamics at play in the larger social space. Using Bourdieu's theory of practice as a theoretical and analytical framework, this study explores the relationship between cultural capital and economic capital. Specifically, I examine the degree to which Hispanic practitioners have leveraged thei…
