A collaborative report from several news organizations, with support from the Fund, examines the prevalence of misinformation on Spanish radio stations in the U.S., tracing how misinformation is spread, its potential impact on the upcoming election, and the role of foreign actors (notably Russia) in creating and spreading disinformation. Feet in 2 Worlds partnered on the six-part series with WNYC’s Notes from America, palabra and Puente News Collaborative, and the reporting has been republished in several other outlets nationwide. The series underscores the importance of Spanish radio, noting that it reaches 94% of Hispanic adults in the U.S. and that there are twice as many Hispanic radio stations in the U.S. as there are NPR member stations.
