Mainstream Media Ethnic Media
Hispanics 14 82
Arab Americans 38 60
African Americans 53 35
Asian Americans 41 54
Native Americans 41 49

For most ethnic groups in America, the ethnic press is preferred for news of home and their ethnic communities here in the U.S. The lone exception is African Americans, the great majority of whom are not immigrants.
