Federico Subervi, Ph.D., Visiting Leverhulme Professor, School of Media & Communication, University of Leeds, will discuss the current state of the mass media and journalism in Puerto Rico in the midst of the Island’s continuing crises post Hurricane María.
His analysis brings together three areas of ongoing inquiry: political-economic factors that condition the operations of the Island’s mass media; opinions gathered from more than fifty Puerto Rican journalists regarding the current crisis and future of journalism in Puerto Rico; and theoretical and methodological frameworks for future research related to media in colonial/post-colonial settings.
