Resumo: In this paper, we present a discussion of the ethnic media targeting the more than 2 million immigrants from Portugal and its former colonies (particularly Brazil, Cape Verde, and Azores) living in the United States. These groups compose what we refer to as the lusophone. The goal is to understand how media targeting the lusophone diaspora negotiates a landscape where consumers’ national origin is distinct, but different patterns of assimilation exist. In particular, we uncovered two interesting patterns of geographical distinction in the media. The first serves the northeastern portion of the United States, with a larger and more culturally diverse Portuguese population and the second in Florida, which serves a more recent community of Brazilian immigrants. New media, the Internet in particular, also plays a vital role in both regions. We found that radio stations and newspapers targeting these populations have a limited online presence, but seem to remain a vital source of information and possibly still aid in immigrant integration and assimilation, which has been historically documented in ethnic media.

Esos grupos forman parte de lo que llamamos la diáspora lusofónica. El objetivo es comprender cómo la media enfocada en esa diáspora negocia la diversidad de orígenes y patrones de asimilación. Observamos una distinción geográfica que crea dos áreas de acceso a la media en portugués. La primera atiende el nordeste de los Estados Unidos, con una población de varios países de lengua portuguesa, y una segunda área, localizada en la Florida, atiende principalmente la migración más reciente de brasileños. Las nuevas tecnologías de media, principalmente el Internet, tiene un papel importante en las dos regiones. Las radios y los periódicos continúan ejerciendo funciones como la diseminación de información y auxiliando en el proceso de integración y asimilación de migrantes, funciones importantes de la media étnica.Neste artigo, apresentamos uma análise da mídia étnica enfocada aos mais de dois milhões de imigrantes de países de língua portuguesa (principalmente Portugal, Brasil, Cabo Verde e Açores) vivendo nos Estados Unidos.
