The book includes appropriate theoretical approaches, rigourous research methods, and incisive analysis of findings. Rodriquez's exploration of cultural and economic forces shaping the media provides crucial insight into the social power of the media over audiences on both sides of the border." —Felix Gutierrez, Senior Vice President and Executive Director, The Freedom Forum Pacific Coast Center "This book breaks fresh ground and helps define a new area of media studies. It is must reading for anyone interested in American Latino media." —Charles D.
