Historical Note
In February 1980, seeing that the there was inadequate coverage of Latino issues in the mainstream media, Charles A. Ericksen, his wife Sebastiana Ericksen-Mendoza, and son Hector Ericksen-Mendoza, founded the Hispanic Link News Service. Syndicated throughout the Americas, the Hispanic Link features opinion, analysis, and news columns written from a Latino perspective. The Hispanic Link Weekly Report, a newsweekly covering Hispanic issues, was started in 1983.
