NewsTaco Weekly Roundup: Jan. 1-8, 2012
Thanks for joining us for another action-packed week here at NewsTaco. My top pick this week talks about the similarities between redistricting and a telenovela — plus I get to talk about Eduardo Yáñez and the Supreme Court in the same sentence.
We also went over the launch of the new Latino comedy site and our content partner, Pocho.com. There were a few health pieces, Miss Deaf America is a brilliant Latina, how Latino-owned businesses are saving the economy, and a big plug for our new Latinos politics blog, La Política.
