Hispanic outreach Kentucky style

A first is occurring in Kentucky on August 15 when the Richmond Register, circulation 6,280, becomes the first paper in the state to launch a bi-lingual column. This according to an article in Editor & Publisher Magazine, which goes on to report that the column will run every other week and be written by Alberto Sanz, a Mexican also who publishes a weekly Spanish paper in central Kentucky.

"Madison County's growing Hispanic population is evident in the number of Hispanic-owned businesses and Hispanic employees in the local work force," Richmond Register Editor Jim Todd Todd is quoted as saying in the article.
