Summary

The goal is to explore the vital connection between real-world biases and the portrayal of Latinx communities in the media, with a specific focus on the impact on youth growing up in a society influenced by biased stereotypes. Despite the increasing diversity in narratives, the Latinx community still lacks nuanced and authentic representation, perpetuating stereotypes.

The study aims to contribute valuable insights into the benefits of increased positive media representation for Latinx youth, shedding light on its potential to reshape societal opinions and eliminate harmful stereotypes. The gathered information will be presented graphically to showcase the positive impact on Latinx youth and the broader community, fostering understanding and dismantling biases.
