Hispanics in the US have long been critical of how they are portrayed in the media. Many believe that they are misrepresented or even invisible in mainstream media. According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, 66% of Hispanics believe that they are underrepresented in the media, and 74% believe that media coverage of Hispanics is generally unfair.

One of the main complaints is that Hispanics are often portrayed in a negative light, and that their contributions to society are often overlooked. In addition, many feel that the media perpetuates stereotypes and fails to accurately represent the diversity of the Hispanic community.

However, there has been some progress in recent years, with more Hispanic representation in media, including in television and film. There are also more Hispanic journalists and media professionals working in the industry, which has helped to increase diversity in the newsroom and improve coverage of Hispanic issues.
