Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author, professor and Latino USA founder Maria Hinojosa will participate in a fireside chat hosted by The New Philanthropists on Monday, Sept. 29, at Austin PBS.
For nearly 40 years, Hinojosa has broken barriers in journalism, carving out space in exclusive newsrooms, amplifying marginalized voices and reshaping the American narrative. Since becoming NPR’s first Latina in 1985, her fearless storytelling has challenged dominant narratives and brought depth and authenticity to overlooked stories through independent, multimedia journalism.
Latino USA airs on KUT 90.5 at 5 p.m. Sundays and 10 p.m. Mondays. KUT News is proud to help sponsor this event.
Join her as she shares powerful stories from her groundbreaking career and the lasting impact of her work amplifying underrepresented voices.
