MIAMI, FL – April 3, 2020 – (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Noticias Newswire, the nation’s only Latinx-owned and operated, multimedia press release distribution service reaching U.S. Hispanic journalists, influencers and thought leaders, has joined the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic by offering two major discounts for Covid-19 related announcements: $99 multimedia press release distributions and a 50% discount on translations.

Spanish Translations
Noticias Newswire also encourages clients to distribute their news in both English and Spanish. This is because a large percentage of Hispanics — roughly 10 million out of a Latinx population of nearly 60 million — do not speak fluent English. To address this need, Noticias Newswire is also offering clients a 50% discount on press release translations from English to Spanish.
“Given that the pandemic will disproportionately impact the Latinx population in terms of their health and finances, and given the lag time in the government’s ability to disseminate their bulletins in languages other than English, we would like to do our part in making sure our community receives pandemic-related news in a timely and bilingual manner, ” said Noticias Newswire CEO & Partner Bill Gato.
“A big part of defeating the virus’ impact is in how we disseminate the news to our citizens,” Gato added. “Sending a multimedia press release to Hispanic journalists and influencers is a great way to help share information that can save lives.”
Language and Information Gaps Revealed
The Covid-19 pandemic revealed a language gap in the dissemination of news to the Latinx community: authorities have been releasing information in English only.
Two recent examples of the language gap:
— The White House’s “The President’s Coronavirus Guidelines for America” was published March 16 in English only. Hispanic media outlets and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus raised awareness about the need to disseminate the guidelines for non-English speaking citizens. Four days later, the White House released a Spanish version of the President’s guidelines.
— While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do have a Spanish-language website, their news bulletins are only occasionally translated to Spanish.
“Since the United States has the second-largest Spanish-speaking population in the world after Mexico, it’s imperative that we disseminate all pandemic announcements in English and Spanish,” Gato said.
