The Arbiter Speaks Spanish - Boise State student newspaper

A little over a year ago, the Boise Weekly made history in our community by publishing an excellent report on immigration in both English and Spanish. Soon after, they unveiled the generous initiative of offering a blog in Spanish, whose growth exceeded initial expectations, as shown by the number of registered visits. Even so, the final objective of making these articles appear in Spanish in the printed edition never made it to light due to a lack of space. Now, The Arbiter has extended the opportunity to give life to this project in its daring and independent pages.

This opportunity is especially unique given what is being expressed in certain social and political circles in this country. And the truth is that such neoliberal times split the soul of anyone paying attention to the fleecing that continues to take place here. The elimination of civil liberties, the undoing of social programs, and the deterioration of free speech have become manifest (I have here “The Age of Untruth”) and as a result, this new journalistic space can be one of those tiny windows where we stick our heads out, breath and feed the hope of the return of a few basic liberties.”*
