By the Numbers: Understanding the Impact and Progress of Latino Journalists in North Texas 

A Research Initiative by Magda Salazar

About the Research Project

For decades, Latino journalists have been telling the stories of Dallas-Fort Worth — one of the largest and consistently fastest-growing Latino communities in the country. The journalists here have covered national news, elections, disasters, communities, and change. Who is telling their story? We’re going to change that and document their experience.

This is an independently designed research initiative documenting the respondents' journey through their first job in the region to lessons learned. ​​The project is designed to be comprehensive as an information gathering and capturing tool, and in its organization to securely protect respondents' contributions to the story. The survey asks questions as broad and deep as the experience it is documenting. 

You do not have to have worked as a journalist in North Texas to be part of this. Journalism advocates, community supporters, and college students are all welcome here. Be a part of this story!

By the Numbers DFW is launching as a seed-level, community-funded initiative. If you would like to be part of getting this research off the ground, our GoFundMe is open — every contribution, at any level, goes directly toward the launch.
