Tuning Into Ethnic Media

November second marks "The Day of the Dead," a traditional Mexican festival to honor loved ones who've died. It's an event that's featured...not so much in the English-language press...but a lot in the dozen or so Spanish-language outlets in Greater Boston.

This program aired on November 2, 2007. The audio for this program is not available.
