This volume is an edited compilation, drawing on the expertise of authors and collaborators throughout the globe. The Handbook consists of three main sections: overview of Spanish language media: issues in Spanish language media: and future directions in Spanish language media: The work is an essential reference work for graduate students, professors, and media practitioners interested in Spanish language media, and is certain to influence the course of future research in this growing and increasing influential area.
