Comcast/NBC Universal Merger

In furtherance of its goal to ensure that Comcast and NBCU increase efforts to diversify their workforce, corporate governance, procurement, philanthropy and community investments, and programming, NHMC signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Comcast and NBCU in late June.  The MOU, executed in partnership with other leading Hispanic civil rights organizations, will create more opportunities for Latinos in the media, telecommunications and entertainment industries.

To be clear, NHMC does not see this MOU as a solution to the ills of media consolidation.  If you will remember, in early June NHMC President and CEO, Alex Nogales, testifed on the merger at a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee in Los Angeles. His testimony is available here.  Alex explained his reasoning for signing the MOU in a op-ed published on the Huffington Post web-site in mid-July.  The MOU is now publicly available on the FCC web-site.

National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) is a 40+ year old 501(c)(3) non-profit, nonpartisan, civil and human rights organization that was founded to eliminate hate, discrimination, and racism toward Latino and marginalized communities, which includes seniors, youth, and other historically excluded groups.

We advance Latino visibility and influence from the halls of Washington, D.C., to the studios of Hollywood. Through our media advocacy and workforce development initiatives, NHMC creates spaces where diverse creators can connect, collaborate, and thrive. Our Series Scriptwriters Program, Latinx Stream Showcase, Creators Networking Program, Careers in Entertainment Youth Program, and Media Advocacy Fellowships serve as both incubators and pipelines, preparing the next generation of storytellers, advocates, and industry leaders. Through mentorship, education, networking opportunities, and direct access to entertainment executives, these programs help transform emerging talent into lasting industry voices while expanding authentic representation across media.

We lead the work to eliminate online hate and disinformation across media platforms. We advocate in the space of Artificial Intelligence when it intersects with civil & human rights, including making sure Latino-Interest and children’s protections are included in AI initiatives and implementations. We advocate for the Affordable Connectivity Program, Lifeline Program, Net Neutrality protections, and closing the digital divide for Latino and other marginalized communities. NHMC works in partnership with other social justice organizations to safeguard democracy in the United States of America.

NHMC is a not-for-profit, and provides equal opportunities to all individuals without regard to race, religion, national origin, disability, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other status protected by law.
