“Before HispanicTips.com, news about Hispanics and Latinos was out there but it was scattered and not easily accessible to everyone. I strongly believe that this situation, this lack of accessibility, hinders both the Hispanic community and the nation economically, politically and culturally. My goal is simply to provide easy access to Hispanic news so that people can stay informed.” – TomásA Niche New Media Project
