Martina Guzmán Reports on Presidential Candidates' Outreach
to Latino Voters on WNYC's Morning Edition
New York, August 18, 2008—Eleven million Latinos are expected to vote in this year's presidential election (60% more than in the 2004 elections), and 3 million of them are young voters. Feet in Two Worlds journalist Martina Guzmán examines how the Presidential campaigns are increasingly tailoring their outreach to subsets of Latino voters––a large and diverse electorate that has displayed a spectrum of responses to the candidates' multi-million dollar ad campaigns.
Guzmán's story aired this morning during Morning Edition on WNYC, New York Public Radio. Click here to listen online.
