La Prensa is the region’s oldest and largest weekly, bilingual Latinx newspaper, and we are proud to collaborate with WGTE to present La Prensa HABLA! Derived from the word “hablar,” meaning “to talk,” the program will use the power of the spoken word to cover topics relevant to our Latinx culture. We present local, national and international news, discuss the state of agricultural workers, document life at the U.S. northern border and spotlight Latinx academics, authors, community leaders and experts. In addition, we present cultural cooking demonstrations and teach a Spanish word of the week.
