Latino representation and a new era for "El Planeta"

13:32

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has made building a diverse and inclusive administration a priority during her first weeks in office. However, she has yet to appoint any Latino people to cabinet positions. Executive Chairman of El Planeta, Boston's largest Spanish-language publication, Javier Marin joins The Common to break down this moment.

Also, we speak with Marcos Marin, El Planeta's new CEO and Editor-in-Chief, about his vision for the paper in the coming years.

A previous description for this episode stated the Healey administration hasn't appointed any Latino people to senior leadership positions when it should have stated "cabinet positions." The Healey administration has appointed several Latino people to senior leadership positions. The post has been corrected. We regret the error.
