Univision News has increased its investment in quality news and information
Univision News, the news division of Univision Communications, Inc., announced that it has received a grant from the Ford Foundation to support its quality investigative journalism. Univision News was the recipient of a one-year, US$500,000 grant from the Ford Foundations Freedom of Expression Unit to strengthen and expand its Documentary and Investigative units. The funds will allow the News division to devote more time and resources to the production of original in-depth reporting focused on important issues that significantly affect the Hispanic community, including immigration, civic and political participation, building economic security, access to higher education, and health, among others.This grant strengthens our ability to continue providing the fastest growing demographic in the U.S. with the quality news and information that Univision is unwaveringly committed to. The grant allows us to offer Hispanic audiences serious, reliable, in-depth investigative reporting that goes far beyond what is currently being presented in the mainstream media. We thank Ford Foundation for recognizing the quality of our journalism and for their generous support of our News division, said Isaac Lee, president of News for Univision Communications, Inc.The Ford grant comes at a time when Univision News has increased its investment in quality news and information, and expanded its brand and credibility by devoting more air time and resources to investigative reporting and in-depth news coverage. This grant will allow for additional impactful coverage on issues that otherwise would not receive substantive in-depth treatment.
