Abstract

At a Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City, I came across an issue of La Prensa, a Spanish-language newspaper published in Utah. It covered a variety of issues, including immigrant fraud, the top ten Latin music hits, and soccer. I wondered how many of these “foreign”-language newspapers exist in Utah and who publishes them. I felt that a study was needed to gain a more complete picture of Utah’s past and present ethnic newspapers and hoped to gain a better understanding of Utah’s peoples. My preliminary research culminated in an end-of-semester paper for my print history class taught by Professor Scott Duvall.
