“Part III, a reply to last week’s protest column by David Paulin: With 14% of the U.S. population already Hispanic and that number expected to swell to 21% by 2020, media outlets know that the emerging Hispanic communities need wider representation in newsrooms, not less. ”

“In his response last week, in this Shoptalk space, to my Feb. 28 column, “How to Cover Hispanic America””and Why,” David Paulin takes issue with my contention that the nation’s newsrooms need to hire more Hispanic reporters to cover the burgeoning Hispanic population. He questions whether there is a color and culture barrier in 2006 and describes some of Miami’s Hispanics as “having grown up in an insular Hispanic environment” and lacking the confidence to “go out and interact with milieus and cultures other than their own.” “
