Hispanic Heritage Month is about to wrap. These 10 Hispanic news sites will help you stay informed.

From time to time, an industry or subject inspires us to create a best-of list. These are sites that produce out-of-this-world coverage in a crowded arena. In case you’ve missed some of these, you can find them here. If you think your site should be considered, give us a holler and tell us why.

Hispanic News Sites

The US Hispanic population continues to change.

Specifically, it’s growing, says Pew Research Center, which reports the Hispanic population has reached a new high. Hispanics also are the nation’s second fastest-growing racial or ethnic group, according to figures from the US Census Bureau, on the nation’s growing older population.

So, it’s no wonder news agencies now offer specialized sections and translated versions of their sites to meet the needs of this massive audience.

While we’re celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, we wanted to highlight sites that do a fine job keeping this growing audience informed.
