They are members of the newly formed Latino Public Radio Consortium.

In the wake of several gatherings of public broadcasters concerned about under representation of Latinos in public radio’s audiences, a small, diverse group of Latino public broadcasters assembled in Boulder this summer to consider strategies to significantly increase Latino use of public media.

The CFSC Consortium is a nonprofit organization working globally to help people living in poor communities lift their voices, stories, ideas, and beliefs in order to influence the change they need in their societies and in their lives. Founded in early 2003 as a nonprofit organization, the Consortium builds upon work that began in 1997 at the Rockefeller Foundation as a special grant-making exploration. Since our founding, we have worked through advocacy, research, publications, teaching and training to enhance the practice of communication for development and social change with a special emphasis on participatory approaches such and public and private dialogue leading to community-based decision-making and collective action leading to long-term social change. We also work directly within and for a number of development and international aid organizations to influence the way communication for development and social change is done. We have grown into a network of committed practitioners and scholars who believe that communication must be bottom-up (as opposed to top down and externally generated), empowering, and based upon principles of tolerance, equity, justice, and unleashing the voices of the previously unheard.
