Exhibition Label
Born Mexico City, Mexico
María Hinojosa, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, is among the leading figures in public media who offer insight into Latino communities in the United States. Born in Mexico City, she grew up in Chicago. Hinojosa recalls that as a girl, she did not see faces like her own in the media. “We were invisible,” she remarked. “I wanted to tell stories that others weren’t telling.” In college, Hinojosa hosted a late-night radio show featuring Latin American protest music, which led to a position at National Public Radio (NPR). Since 1992, she has anchored and produced Latino USA, a nationally syndicated public radio program distributed by NPR that provides a window onto the cultural, political, and social experiences of Latinos. In 2010, she founded the Futuro Media Group to create multimedia content about Americans who are often underrepresented in mainstream media. Here, her facial expression conveys a deep sense of resolve.
This photograph is part of Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’s series The Latino List, which explores what it means to be Latino in the twenty-first century.
Nacida en Ciudad de México, México
María Hinojosa, periodista galardonada con el Premio Emmy, es una de las principales figuras dedicadas a fomentar una mejor comprensión de las comunidades latinas de Estados Unidos en los medios de información. Nació en Ciudad de México y creció en Chicago. Recuerda que, de niña, no veía rostros como el suyo en los medios. “Éramos invisibles”, comenta. “Quería contar las historias que otros no contaban”. Mientras estudiaba en la universidad, Hinojosa presentaba un programa de radio nocturno con canciones de protesta latinoamericanas. Esto le valió más tarde un puesto en la Radio Pública Nacional (NPR). Desde 1992 ha presentado y producido Latino USA, un programa radial retrans- mitido nacionalmente por NPR, que abre una ventana a las experiencias culturales, políticas y sociales de los latinos. En 2010 fundó el Futuro Media Group para crear contenidos multimedia acerca de los estadounidenses que suelen estar subrepresentados en los medios dominantes. Aquí su expresión transmite un sentido de profunda determinación.
Esta fotografía forma parte de la serie La lista de latinos, donde Timothy Greenfield-Sanders explora lo que significa ser latino en el siglo XXI.
