CBS News has a link to TV broadcasting that hearkens to the days of Walter Cronkite and Douglas Edwards. But a new special set to debut Sunday evening was made available for streaming earlier this week.
The hour-long effort, “Pandemia: Latinos in Crisis,” focuses on the Latinx community and the pressures placed upon it and other communities of color by the coronavirus pandemic. Maria Elena Salinas, the veteran Univision correspondent who joined CBS News as a contributor in July of last year, will anchor the special, which features original reporting from a team of Latinx journalists at CBS News. CBS News plans to stream the special on its Cbsn video hub Sunday night at 9 p.m. eastern, but made it available for on-demand viewing Friday at cbsnews.com/pandemia.
“Pandemia” includes interviews with activist Dolores Huerta as well as Senator Marco Rubio and New York State Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz. Celebrities including Eva Longoria,...

A lot of TV-news correspondents flocked to the southern U.S. border a year ago when migrant families were being separated. Manuel Bojorquez is doing the same after relatives have been reunited.
The CBS News correspondent has for several weeks worked to meet with families split during last year’s U.S. crackdown at the border with Mexico. Last week, on “CBS Evening News,” he spoke to a 7-year-old girl who reunited with her immigrant father 326 days after being separated. He is slated to present soon a report about a father who was separated not from one child, but two.
“This is really gauging the impact of the policy in a way we couldn’t really do before,” says Bojorquez, in an interview. “We have found for the most part that families are eager to share their stories, to share what has happened to them.”
But there’s more going on here than journalism.
