Why Digital Media?
However, there are other forms of digital media that put more representational power in the hands of Latinas, such as social media platforms. On a platform like Twitter, any average person can tweet about being Latina and have their tweets be read by thousands or millions of people across the US. This powerful outreach of Twitter makes it the perfect platform to study representation of Latinas; a celebrity could write a tweet with the hashtag #latinaequalpay and have it viewed instantly by millions of people across the US, bringing issues associated with latinidad into public view.
