In late June an unprecedented event unfolded in the U.S. Hispanic media industry. A renowned journalist and columnist was arrested along with ten other people, including her husband, on charges of suspected espionage on behalf of the Russian Federation. As we know, the journalist in question was Vicky Pelaez, a columnist for El Diario/La Prensa, which is owned by ImpreMedia. The case led to widespread coverage in both English and Spanish-language media, and allowed us to see how U.S. Hispanic media and the U.S. English-language media and Latin American media can end up competing covering the same news.
