Latinos and a Growing Crisis of Trust

ABOUT THIS RESEARCH

Fueled by the findings of our research, which has included social media monitoring, narrative analysis, polling and surveys conducted over the duration of 2021 and 2022, this report highlights key stakeholders spreading disinformation and propaganda, major narratives targeting Latinos, media consumption trends in Latino communities, and the role of the social media platforms play in this ecosystem. This report also lays out recommendations for steps social media companies, the government, civil society, and online consumers can take to further reduce the spread of Spanish-language disinformation, to foster increased trust with the Latino community, and to strengthen a year round digital media infrastructure to counter and combat Spanish-language disinformation.
