The Misinformation Web
The 2024 presidential election has seen a rise in Spanish-language misinformation and in the content creators making a living by pushing out false content. For months, Futuro Investigates tracked how lies and conspiracies about the election and the candidates that originated in English soon found their way to Spanish-speaking audiences, amid the expanded monetization of tech platforms and the rise of technologies like AI. We meet face to face with social media influencers pushing out misinformation in Spanish, and with the experts combating it.

She Migrates
The Misinformation Web
The Misinformation Web
In a new migration reality, women and children are requesting asylum in Mexico at higher rates than men. But even as more women are crossing borders in long and dangerous journeys, many hoping to ultimately reach the United States, we rarely hear about their stories and what it’s like to migrate undocumented when you’re a woman.
For women, their body takes a central role when they’re in transit, regardless of their age. (Winner of the One World Media award in the Refugee Reporting category in 2022.)

The U.S. and Mexico: A Complicated Relationship
To say that the United States and Mexico have a complicated relationship is to put it lightly. There is so much that connects the two neighboring countries: rich history, cultural ties, economic partnerships. And so much that causes friction between the two: immigration, drug trafficking, human smuggling, illegal weapons, politics.
Over the last 200 years so much has happened but for this Latino USA episode we’ll focus on just this century. We’ll get to the present, of course, but we’ll first look at a few key moments over the last 25 years to better understand the context of how we got here. How we got to a second Donald Trump White House and a first woman president in Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum.

In this episode of Latino USA, journalists Roman Gressier, editor of El Faro English and host of the podcast “Central America in Minutes,” and Lilia Luciano, CBS News 24/7 anchor and correspondent, discuss the growing relationship between the United States and El Salvador.
