PBS Ups Latino Programming

After the flap over the lack of hispanics in Ken Burns’ WWII documentary, PBS seems to be airing more hispanic programs. “PBS spokeswoman Lea Sloan said it was unfair to credit the Burns controversy for all of this activity, and noted that PBS already airs more Latino-oriented programming than other mainstream networks. But she did note that the episode caused PBS to work harder to reach out to this rapidly growing part of the population.”
