This article directly supports my social networking story and discusses the same trend I addressed in my story. The article shows only three ethnic groups (mine had five) but English-speaking Hispanics and non-Hispanic blacks use mobile devices more than non-Hispanic whites in every category (texting, emailing, IMing, watching video, playing music, getting on the interent, and getting directions). The article also attributes one of the reasons of this trend to communicating with family members in distant countries.

Another article on ethnic groups and media outlets. Newspapers and broadcasts directed at a target audience of an ethnic minority are thriving at a time when most newspapers are struggling. For example, the article says in LA the number one TV station is Spanish-language KMEX.
