“Latinos and Immigration: The US Mambo“ at National Speaker Forum 2017

The Woman’s City Club of Greater Cincinnati  Presents  2017 National Speaker - Maria Hinojosa

“Latinos and Immigration:  The US Mambo“


Maria Hinojosa is an award winning journalist,  anchor and executive producer of Latino USA on National Public Radio, a public radio show devoted to Latino issues. She also is  founder, president and CEO of Futuro Media Group, which produces the show. For 25 years, she has helped tell America’s untold stories and brought to light unsung heroes in America and abroad.

Futuro Media Group was launched in April 2010, with the mission to produce multi-platform, community-based journalism that gives critical voice to the voiceless by harnessing the power of independent media to tell stories that are overlooked or under-reported by traditional media.

As the anchor and executive producer of the long-running weekly NPR show Latino USA, and as anchor of the Emmy Award-winning talk show Maria Hinojosa: One-on-One from WGBH/La Plaza, Hinojosa has informed millions of Americans about the fastest-growing group in our country. Previously, a senior correspondent for NOW on PBS, and currently, a rotating anchor for Need to Know, Hinojosa has reported hundreds of important stories — from the immigrant work camps in NOLA after Katrina, to teen girl victims of sexual harassment on the job, to Emmy Award-winning stories of the poor in Alabama.
