5 Steps: How to Keep Up with Hispanic News Beyond Hispanic Heritage Month
While Hispanic Heritage Month will soon wrap, coverage of the Hispanic and Latino community continues year-round.
Whether you work for a Spanish-language station or have an English-language blog targeting Latinas in the US, here are five ways PR Newswire can help you stay on top of the latest news impacting the Hispanic community, Latin America, and beyond.
1. Sign up for Hispanic PR Wire.
The Hispanic PR Wire offers extensive customization to ensure you receive timely and relevant news announcements. US Hispanic (including Puerto Rico) news releases are available in both English and Spanish and are delivered in real-time.
Recent stories include:
- SaludMóvil Launches SuReceta, Bilingual Prescription Discount App that Helps Hispanics Save Money on Overpriced Medication
- The Guadalajara International Film Festival Returns To Los Angeles With More Films And Honorary Guests
- Daddy Yankee to raise $1.5 million for Habitat for Humanity’s hurricane recovery efforts in Puerto Rico
When you sign up for the press list, you can:
- Select and receive news releases on the topics you cover and/or are interested, including Automotive, Business & Finance, Entertainment, Fashion & Beauty, Government & Politics, Immigration, and Travel & Tourism.
- Publish and/or broadcast any press release in its entirety or in part with its corresponding photo(s).
- Receive exclusive event invites, interview opportunities, and press conferences.
- Obtain the contact information for quick and easy follow-ups.
2. Get Latin American news delivered to your inbox.
The PR Newswire for Journalists media site allows you to search a specific country, for example, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, and others. You also can search by keyword.
A search of “country: Mexico and language: English” pulled up the following:
- Art of Villalpando will bring together philanthropists in New York to support Mexican culture
- Investment in children should be at the core of Mexico’s reconstruction efforts after devastating earthquakes – UNICEF
- Carmelo Anthony, Javier “Chicharito” Hernández and Miguel Layún Start YouCaring Fundraisers for Hurricane Relief in Puerto Rico and Earthquake Support in Mexico
News releases can be delivered directly to your inbox daily, weekly, or on any schedule that works for you.
3. Request Spanish-speaking experts and sources on specific topics.
PR Newswire’s ProfNet and HARO offer thousands of experts and other sources for your stories.
ProfNet’s network of more than 14,000 publicists represent hundreds of sources who you can connect with, including Spanish-speaking experts. Send a free query here and mention that you need a “Spanish-speaking expert” in the “Additional Information” box.
HARO provides thousands more interview subjects. When you send out your query, remember to add that you’re “looking for a Spanish-speaking expert” in the “Requirements” box.
You can request that both ProfNet and HARO responses be delivered to your inbox by your deadline. Go through the pitches and select the expert source who’s right for you.
4. Automatically add Hispanic news to your site.
Supplement your website’s Hispanic content with a customizable widget with Hispanic press releases and/or Spanish-language news releases that easily can be added to your site. It’s a free service. Here’s how it works:
- Widgets are updated in real-time, so your site stays current.
- All headlines open up on your site – each with their unique URL so your visitors never leave.
- Free customization: Your personalized widget will have the same look and feel of your site, with your fonts and colors.
- Widgets are adjustable to fit any empty space on your site. You select the size of your widget and how many headlines you want to display.
- Looking for a multimedia widget? We’ve got those too.
You can specify by topic, language, or keyword.

You can register for our widget here.
5. Set your Twitter program to automatically tweet the latest Hispanic news.
Beef up Hispanic content on your Twitter account by setting up a widget on your site. We will install it for you and then pull up an RSS feed that you can enter in your Twitter platform to automatically schedule Hispanic-related tweets. The links on your tweets will send followers to your site for the full story, which will boost your site’s traffic and page views.
