“…There has been some research focusing on the meaning of "minority" from a multidimensional point of view (Peery & Bodenhausen, 2008;Sanchez, Good, & Chavez, 2011;Sladek, Doane, Luecken, Gonzalez, & Grimm, 2020;Sui & Paul, 2020). These studies do not categorize racial and ethnic diversity within strict frames.…”

“…This type of invisibility prevents them to take important roles in society. Sui and Paul (2020) stated, "the lack of visibility could deny Latinos voice and power in mainstream U.S. culture" (p. 50). In return, when Latinos, as a minority group, feel their invisibility in the mainstream media, they may develop negative perceptions towards the native speakers of English and/or the target culture.…”

Using data from the 2018 National Survey of Latinos that was conducted by The Pew Hispanic Center/Kaiser Family Foundation, the researcher in the present study reports on the perceptions of Latinos on English and their educational degrees as well as their language preferences. This non-experimental quantitative study is considered one of the first ones focusing on Latinos' language preferences conducted all over the United States. A highly randomly stratified 2,288 Latino adults (1,041 males and 1,091 females) who are 18 years old or older identified themselves as Latinos in this study. These participants were from 48 states in total. The results indicated that there was a positive relationship between the last degree attended and participants' English proficiency; however, there was no association between participants' preference of English over Spanish and their perceptions on the friendliness/closeness of American individuals. The implications and future direction are recommended at the end of the study based on these results.

The periods 1918–1920 and 2019–2021 were characterized by epidemic moments. The COVID-19 pandemic recalled the crises associated with the Spanish flu, exanthematic typhus, and smallpox of the 1920s. However, few works have focused on a comparative task of these episodes in local newspapers. Through the analysis of the daily editions of Commercio do Minho and its successor, Correio do Minho, we fill this gap with this work. It was possible to portray the socioeconomic reach of these pandemics in a community in the northern coastal region of Portugal. Using time series analysis of the number of news items as well as the number of deaths from each of the episodes in the periods 1918 and 1920 and 2020 and 2021 (namely using Autoregressive Distributed Lag models), we conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic exhibited a greater focus on the problem in the local press. Other results made it possible to view the differentiated response of the number of news items regarding each epidemic episode depending on the number of deaths in the population, both between 1918 and 1920 and between 2020 and 2021. Thus, our work came to demonstrate three pieces of evidence in the relationship between news and epidemic processes. Firstly, COVID-19, as an example of the most recent pandemic, brought a reactivity of the local press resulting in a greater number of news, even compared to the number of fatalities. Secondly, the number of news published on epidemic/pandemic issues tends to follow the evolution of the severity of the event—there is more news in the months that follow periods of greater severity of the disease. Finally, the “disappearance” of published news faster in 1918–1920 also reveals a lesser focus that newsrooms perceived on society of that time in the face of the reported pandemic (Nie et al. 2022).
