Vida Latina
Claudia Samulowitz is an English/Spanish translator and interpreter who chaired the Lafayette Commission on Latino and Hispanic Affairs in 2006. She's been trying for eight years to get a newscast in Spanish. Well, thanks to her, that dream has been realized. And the spots are exceptional.
Vida Latina will be aired at 5:12 PM on Tuesdays during the regular 5 o'clock news show and during the CBS Morning Show on Saturdays. They are also linked and archived on the WLFI website.
WLFI's decision to go ahead with this project was a good one. And it is Claudia's hope that maybe someday Lafayette will be able to have the local news in Spanish on a regular basis. I agree that this is where we should be heading, and I think it's only a matter of time before this hope and dream of hers is also realized.
Way to go, Claudia and WLFI!

IU Study: Indiana Struggles to Integrate Latinos Into Communities
A new study by Indiana University found that inconsistency and debates over immigration are hampering efforts to allow Latinos to become fully integrated into communities. The study found that the Mexican population in Indiana is growing faster than that of any U.S. border state and every Indiana neighbor, except Kentucky. The study makes recommendations, including the need for better collaboration between community leadership, local businesses, state agencies and schools.
