Mission
To encourage and support increased civic engagement by members of underserved populations by producing and distributing news, training, and current events information (“Content”) in the Spanish language. The purpose of the Content is to provide underserved populations with the knowledge necessary to engage in in-depth analysis and become advocates for good government, human rights, community, education, and social progress in Wisconsin. To support the development of new Hispanic & Latino journalists to support this purpose and to promote critical thinking and robust debate in the areas of government accountability, civil rights, racism, and equality among all peoples.
About our journalism
When the cameras leave and the campaign signs come down, our community is still here. MiWisconsin was founded in 2020 because too often, no one was asking questions on behalf of Wisconsin’s Latino community at press conferences, in government meetings, or in the newsroom. The pandemic made that painfully clear: families went without information, and opportunities passed us by because no one told us they existed. After the 2026 elections, the decisions that shape our schools, our workplaces, and our neighborhoods are only beginning. We will keep asking the questions, in Spanish, for our community. But we cannot do it alone. Independent journalism survives when the people it serves choose to sustain it.
