“…Miami is also home to more than four Spanish-language radio stations and three television networks, of which Univisión earns higher ratings than the four major generalmarket networks (Soruco, 1996: 66, 68-9). In the words of John Sinclair (2003), Miami is the transnational media capital of Latin America.…”

Based on a critical analysis of the news coverage and editorial content regarding the Elián González international custody case in The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, this article explores the ideological tensions between local general-market and Latino news outlets during moments of increased social crisis. Specifically, it documents the newspapers’ relationship with each other and analyzes the competing discourses of ethnic, community and national identity embedded in the journalistic texts. The study suggests that, as US ethnic and racial demographics continue shifting in its major cities, particular attention must be paid to the dynamic role of the ethnic media. Examining the production of meanings in ethnic and general-market news coverage in relation to one another presents an opportunity for rethinking the role of journalism in public negotiations over constructs of community, national identity, and ethnic and racial difference.

This article explores how the US news media was impacted by events in mid-twentieth century Cuba, namely, the 1959 Revolution and the demise of Havana as a Latin American media capital. This study argues that the Cuban Revolution and its exiles influenced the US news media industry in three significant ways: 1) propelled the expansion of US Spanish-language media, particularly the news, by incorporating Cuban media professionals and serving immigrant audiences from Cuba and later other Latin American nations; 2) removed and limited programs that angered the Cuban community by accommodating Cuban exile activists; and 3) dramatically increased coverage of Cuba and its refugees with an often anti-revolution position. By weaving together primary source materials and scholarly literature, this study reverses the conceptual direction of influence from the US shaping the Caribbean to the Caribbean's impact on the US for a fuller picture of their transnational exchanges.

“…Preceded by the slow growth of a state rebate programme initiated in 2003, the Entertainment Industry Economic Development Act passed in 2010, allocating USD$242 million in tax rebates and credits over the following five Environmental Values 30 (2) years, which drew enough production to Miami to place it third in national media production behind LA and New York. Moreover, due to its demographic diversity and proximity to the Caribbean, Miami also became the focal node for Latin American and Spanish-language media (Sinclair 2013).…”

Environmental Values

he environmental values articulated and practised by dispersive or ‘mobile’ film production practices, aiming toward applicable strategies to make media practices more environmentally conscientious and sustainable. Providing a social and environmental study of the local relational values, political economy and ecosystem ramifications of runaway productions and film incentive programmes, this study draws on contemporary international green production practices as entryways into environmentally positive film industry change. Offering an overview of the potential use of a relational values approach to media production cultures, the essay uses two opposing models (the Michigan film incentive and the underwater cinematography culture of South Florida) in order to assess the political dynamics, social consequences and environmental threats of Hollywood’s mobile practices – as well as their potential as sites, beyond Hollywood, to converge environmental values with local media culture.
