G. Capuano at MMFA:

Univision’s elDetector project has worked for months to fact-check Donald Trump’s dangerous lies about abortion, immigration, and the January 6 insurrection. During an October 16 Televisa Univision town hall with the former president, journalist Enrique Acevedo — who in 2023 faced criticism for his interview with Trump — will also have the chance to push back against Trump's misinformation by fact-checking the GOP presidential candidate in real time. 

The event will also be an opportunity for Univision to restore trust among its viewers after concerns that the network’s corporate owners, Televisa Univision, have made attempts to become friendly with the former president, with whom the network had��cut business ties in 2016 after a series of racist remarks against Mexicans. In 2023, the Washington Post reported that “Trump is treating Univision and its new corporate owners like long-lost friends” and that “he hosted a trio of its executives at Mar-a-Lago” during his interview with Acevedo.   The town hall will broadcast out of Miami and will be followed by a dueling town hall with Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, October 10. Univision and its streaming service ViX will air the town halls with a Spanish translation, with the full English-language version available on the Noticias Univision YouTube channel.

Univision’s elDetector has fact-checked Trump before

Univision’s elDetector, an online Spanish-language fact-checking project launched ahead of the 2016 presidential election, has spent the last several months pushing back against Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, his false and racist attacks against Harris’ identity, his fearmongering about Democrats’ position on abortion, and his distortions about the January 6 insurrection. 

Univision has an impeccable record of fact-checking Donald Trump. Will they do so at the town hall?

Jorge Ramos dice adiós al Noticiero de Univisión

MIAMI, Florida * 13 de diciembre, 2024 ) Univisión Jorge Ramos se despide del Noticiero Univision manteniéndose fiel a sí mismo, el periodista que respeta la audiencia de Estados Unidos. Veintiseis palabras y dos números le bastaron para decir adiós... o hasta luego. “Puro agradecimiento” fue la frase con la que Ramos cerró su ciclo de 38 años en la cadena y también su post en Instagram. Pura economía de tiempo para el lector, sin lamentos, conciso, con el punto de emotividad que requiere el momento, pero sin traicionar su estilo. Este viernes 13 de diciembre será su último noticiero, y el domingo 15 el último episodio de Al punto, que condujo durante 17 años. Para Ramos, el joven de 24 años que llegó a Estados Unidos en 1983 procedente de México sin saber cuál sería el rumbo de su vida, ha sido tremendo camino el que ha cumplido como “periodista inmigrante”, la manera en que le gusta definirse. Uno que nos hace pensar que no ha terminado porque es demasiado inquieto, demasiado aventurero. Ramos tiene 66 años y casi 40 años los ha pasado en Univision –hoy TelevisaUnivision– y en ese intervalo los hispanos han ganado una presencia significativa en Estados Unidos. Incertidumbre en Univision Decir que ha sido la voz de los hispanos, o al menos una de sus voces, es mucho abarcar, pero no es exageración resumir que su rostro ha estado presente en la sala de la casa de muchas familias llevando la noticia o solo en el trasfondo, como un susurro esperado que acompañaba la hora de la cena o el tiempo de los deberes. ¿Quién no ha lavado los platos o ha hecho la tarea siguiendo ese murmullo que llegaba de la tele en las voces de presentadores como María Elena Salinas, Teresa Rodríguez, Alina Mayo Azze, Guillermo Benítes, Bernadette Pardo, Ambrosio Hernández, Leticia Callava y María Montoya? También se vivía la noche escuchando la noticia de boca de tantos reporteros como Blanca Rosa Vilchez, una de las últimas en salir de Univision el mes pasado, y una verdadera estrella de la corresponsalía en Nueva York, donde fue uno de los primeros periodistas en llegar al World Trade Center el 11 de septiembre del 2001. El anuncio de Ramos en septiembre de que no renovaría el contrato con la cadena puede leerse hoy, a la luz de los hechos, como un anticipo de lo que vendría a fin de año. Un nueva ola de despidos en los primeros días de diciembre en la que salieron la presentadora Maity Interiano, de Noticiero Univision Edición Nocturna; Roger Borges, corresponsal de El Gordo y la Flaca, el chef Yisus, de Despierta América y el ejecutivo Jesús Lara, que presidía Medios Locales en Estados Unidos. Daniel Alegre, el CEO de TelevisaUnivision nombrado en septiembre, dijo en un memorándum enviado a los empleados que se avecinaban “retos”, en medio del proceso de reestructuración de la cadena. “Les pido su enfoque y resiliencia mientras damos estos pasos importantes hacia un futuro más fuerte y más conectado. Juntos estamos construyendo una empresa posicionada para un crecimiento sostenido, innovación y liderazgo”, dijo el ejecutivo el 2 de diciembre. Como parte de esta reestructuración de TelevisaUnivision también se eliminaron empleos en el equipo de Contenido y Desarrollo de la plataforma ViX el 11 de diciembre. En noviembre cerró la oficina de TelevisaUnivision en San Francisco y salieron veteranos periodistas como el corresponsal Luis Megid y redactores de noticias como Daniel Morcate, Jorge Mota y Susana Mickle, de la oficina de Miami. El 2024 abrió con el despido de 200 empleados de Univision en los que se perdió talento frente a la cámara como Teresa Rodríguez y Sandra Peebles, entre los más veteranos de la cadena, y hasta hoy continúa la incertidumbre del equipo que labora en Estados Unidos. ) www.acapulcopress.com Read the full article

GRAPEVINE, Texas, Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill Abbott, President & CEO of Great American Media, joined industry leaders at the NRB 2025 International Christian Media Convention in Grapevine, Texas, as a featured panelist in the Vision for the Future of Values-Driven Media forum.

The discussion explored the rapid expansion of values-driven content, the increasing demand for faith- and family-focused storytelling, and how media leaders are shaping the industry's future.Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media, speaking on a panel at NRB 2025 about values-driven media.

Moderated by Adele Malpass, President of the Daily Caller News Foundation, the panel featured insights from Raymond Arroyo (Fox News), Cheryl Chumley (The Washington Times), and Yurisan Cordero (TelevisaUnivision). Together, they examined the evolving media landscape and the growing audience demand for uplifting, values-based entertainment.

Faith, Family, and the Future of Media

"The demand for storytelling that uplifts, inspires, and reflects the principles audiences cherish has never been stronger," said Abbott. "At Great American Media, we've built a thriving network by remaining steadfast in our commitment to faith, family, and country—offering content that resonates deeply with viewers seeking alternatives to mainstream entertainment."

Abbott highlighted the unprecedented success of Christmas programming, a genre he reinvigorated for TV—first at Fox, then at Hallmark, and now at Great American Media—as an example of uplifting entertainment that attracts audiences. He noted that while many networks face declining viewership, Great American Family, the company's linear cable network, has experienced significant audience growth by delivering meaningful, heartwarming stories year-round. In Q4 2024, Great American Family was the only network in its peer group to see household audience growth, according to Nielsen.

That momentum has continued into 2025, Abbott said, citing the success of County Rescue, which premiered its second season this week as part of Great American Family's "Faith & Family Sundays" programming event. "Faith & Family Sundays" features 30 consecutive weeks of new episodes from the network's original series, bringing faith and family together through compelling storytelling. Other series in the lineup include When Hope Calls and Vindication (Season 4).

"Our audience tunes in expecting to be uplifted and inspired," Abbott said. "Other networks may shock and surprise, but we provide entertainment without compromise—delivering high-quality storytelling that aligns with our values."

Faith-Based Media in the Digital Age

The panel also discussed the influence of digital media and Big Tech on faith-based entertainment, addressing issues such as censorship and content moderation as audiences shift from traditional cable to digital platforms.

Abbott emphasized that digital platforms are breaking down barriers, making values-driven content more accessible than ever. However, he urged technology providers to apply fair and consistent standards to faith-based content. "Free speech is free speech," he said.

As part of its digital expansion, Great American Media has grown its streaming footprint through Great American Pure Flix, a premier faith and family streaming platform.

"The technology of storytelling has evolved, but the need for faith-affirming narratives remains constant," Abbott concluded. "As long as audiences continue seeking these stories, we'll be here to tell them."

Adrian Carrasquillo at The Bulwark:

EMPLOYEES AT THE SPANISH-LANGUAGE cable mainstay Univision were left distraught earlier this month after the network’s brass decided to run Department of Homeland Security ads warning immigrants that the government will find and deport them. The ads, which are part of a new $200 million campaign Homeland Security unveiled in February, have rankled immigrant-rights groups, who view them as a blunt attempt at fearmongering on the taxpayer dime. Univision itself has covered the ads critically on air. “‘If you don’t leave, we’ll find you and deport you,’—that’s how radical the ad from the DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is,” anchor Andrea Linares said in a February 18 segment. Yet Univision has joined English-language networks in choosing to run the ads on its airwaves. That decision has left journalists inside the network frustrated. It has also increased internal tensions over how Univision has chosen to cover Trump, according to current and former employees. One Univision newsroom leader, who was so upset about the ad airing that they had to be calmed down by a former colleague, argued that the network has changed under the ownership of Televisa, the Mexican telecommunications and broadcasting company. The leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity, recalled that Televisa executives—along with Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner—had a hand in organizing the November 2023 interview of Trump by veteran journalist Enrique Acevedo, who was widely criticized for the gentleness and deference he seemed to offer his divisive subject. “We previously didn’t care what Televisa said, but the Trump interview with Acevedo was coordinated by Televisa, there were Televisa corporate people at that interview,” the Univision source said. “I’ve only known journalism in the States, I haven’t done journalism in Mexico—they take care of whoever is in political power in Mexico—so I just feel that is trickling down in the States.” (After their $4.8 billion merger went through in 2022, the company became TelevisaUnivision, though the network Hispanics have known for decades remains known as Univision.) Acevedo himself works for Televisa, not Univision, which made his selection to conduct the interview more conspicuous to Univision employees. Later in the campaign, as the network moved to soothe ruffled feathers, Acevedo also interviewed President Biden. Local Univision staffers were notified ahead of Trump’s joint speech to Congress on March 4 that the network would be airing the DHS ads that night. Later, some learned the ads had begun airing the day before. Media buyers in touch with Univision told The Bulwark that the DHS ad orders were for English copy with Spanish subtitles and that they are only slated to run through March, at this point. The ads have aired in major TV media markets including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Phoenix, Austin, Houston, and Dallas, as well as on radio and digital streaming platforms.

[...] Joaquin Blaya, who helped found the Univision network, served as its president, and hired its most famous anchor, Jorge Ramos, likened the DHS ad campaign to the sort of propaganda official government newspapers would have run in the Soviet Union and other authoritarian states. “I told my wife, this is Pravda, ‘dear leader’ type of stuff,” Blaya told The Bulwark. “I know these are different times, I know they are trying to be more accommodating. But suffice to say, under our leadership, the ad would not have run,” he said. “This is not about being a network to promote breaking laws and regulations—that’s not the point. It’s a network to let Hispanics know their rights within the legal structure of the United States. It’s about knowing your rights and standing up for them.” Univision was not the only Spanish-language network to air the DHS ad. Telemundo did as well. But the reaction at that network was somewhat more muted. That may be because, internally, Telemundo’s coverage of the Trump administration has been perceived in the Spanish-language community as tough but fair, and the network has also traditionally been viewed as an advocate for the Latino community. On February 23, Noticias Telemundo aired a one-hour news special featuring legal, law-enforcement, and immigration experts discussing the changes in federal immigration policy and answering audience questions.

[...] The controversy over the decision to run the DHS ads comes at a difficult time for Spanish-language media companies, which, like their English-language counterparts, have suffered from mass layoffs and a contracting industry—all while facing a retribution-minded Trump administration. There is concern within the networks that Trump could soon go after them more aggressively. The Telemundo news division source worried that the president’s executive order designating English as the country’s official language could lead to Spanish-language networks being targeted for fines, restrictions, or worse if they continue to broadcast in the preferred language of their audience, particularly as Trump uses the FEC as sword and shield against media companies. When the White House held the traditional off-the-record meeting with journalists before Trump’s joint speech to Congress last week, members from both Spanish-language networks were excluded, sparking additional concerns. The exclusion was a break from past years, when those sessions were opened to anchors and White House correspondents from Telemundo and Univision. “He’s degraded the Spanish language,” the Telemundo news division source said. “What does it mean to not be part of an official language in this country? How far can they go? Who are we to say we won’t wake up one day to a pronouncement from the administration that these Spanish-language stations are catering to DEI? Where does he draw the line?”

Univision should be ashamed of themselves for airing this MAGA propaganda ad from DHS, especially with the channel making more Trump-like overtures.. Telemundo also aired the ad, but there is lot less outcry over there.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, it’s becoming increasingly complex to engage consumers and effectively align with their interests. For advertisers, this means the need to connect with customers across an ever-expanding array of channels to reach them where they spend their time. Google Display Ads (GDA) offer a powerful tool for forging those connections. GDA enables advertisers to drive reach and performance across websites and apps with visually engaging, immersive creative. Today, we’re sharing updates that will help advertisers create even more compelling ad experiences across Display inventory. Expanded Flexibility and Reach Across Platforms Google Display Ads, along with the broader Google Display Network (GDN), allows advertisers to extend and diversify their marketing strategies across over 3 million websites and apps. Now, we've increased our inventory to cover a broader range of platforms and categories, including news, sports, social media, and gaming. In the coming weeks, you’ll also have access to third-party Connected TV (CTV) inventory across key categories like TelevisaUnivision, MLB, and FOX News. This expanded selection of networks and channels ensures that your brand reaches your audience on their favorite media. We’re also providing more flexibility in how you purchase Display ads. You can now use them in both standalone Display and Performance Max campaigns. Additionally, we’ve recently added Google Display inventory to Demand Gen campaigns, allowing you to stay top-of-mind with more customers, wherever they’re engaging with visual-first content. Previously, Demand Gen only had access to a video-specific subset of the Google Display Network via Google Video Partners (GVP). If you’ve opted into GVP and uploaded image assets to your Demand Gen campaigns, your image ads will now be served on the Google Display Network as part of this transition. In our testing, advertisers who incorporated Google Display Network into their Demand Gen campaigns saw an average 16% increase in conversions. For more details on how to integrate the Google Display Network into your Demand Gen campaigns, visit our Google Ads Help Center. Faster and Easier Creation of High-Quality Creative According to Ipsos, the quality of an ad’s creative determines 75% of its recall potential. It’s crucial to ensure your brand appears in the best light across Display surfaces, which is why we’ve launched new creative features to assist you. For instance, we’ve upgraded our image generation models to Imagen 3, a cutting-edge text-to-image model powered by Google AI, to help you drive even stronger creative performance across all campaign types, including Display. This model has been fine-tuned using ad performance data from various industries. We’ve also made it simpler for teams to review and collaborate on creative assets. All your assets can now be previewed in a dedicated gallery, offering greater transparency about how AI has enhanced and combined imagery, and how assets will display across different formats and surfaces on desktop, video, and mobile. If you need feedback from other teams, you can easily generate a review link from the preview gallery to share with partners. While accelerating creative production is key, it's also important to maintain control over how your brand is represented. To support that, we’re introducing a variety of creative templates for Display ads, so you can ensure your brand standards are adhered to when creating new assets. Improved Quality Standards and Safeguards We are constantly working to improve the quality of inventory served by Google Display Ads. Our process includes regular reviews and evaluations of publishers and their inventory on the Google Display Network, protection against invalid activity and ad fraud, and the implementation of new safeguards to minimize exposure to potentially invalid leads and traffic. Additionally, we've launched several improvements to elevate ad placement quality, including enhanced inventory verification procedures and the integration of more sophisticated site quality signals into our screening algorithms. With these updates, boosting your reach and performance through the Google Display Network has never been easier, while also ensuring your brand standards are maintained. This is part of our ongoing commitment to providing the best experience for both advertisers and customers in the online space. Read the full article

The Future of Television Advertising: How Streaming Has Flipped the Traditional Advertising Model

Over 20 years ago, Donna Speciale, president of U.S. advertising sales and marketing at TelevisaUnivision, proposed an advertising model for TV networks where media companies could buy entire commercial breaks to strategically program spots for better viewer retention. At the time, TV networks denied this idea; however, this model has become more frequent in the streaming era of entertainment, flipping the advertising model in television completely. Ad-free services such as presidential debates and streaming platforms in the past, are now incorporating advertising into their programming. Networks that previously opposed outside control over ad spots are now permitting advertisers to buy commercial break packages, allowing them more creative control over ad breaks.

The media landscape is constantly changing, with streaming disrupting linear TV. This shift is impacting advertising strategies on both linear TV and streaming platforms. Advertising dollars are increasingly going toward streaming services, with a 35.3% increase of $11.1 billion from $8.2 billion in 2023. This amount towards streaming services surpassed primetime broadcast and cable television for the first time. Media giant, GroupM, predicts that streaming TV advertising revenues will overcome linear TV advertising by 2029. While advertising revenue is predicted to increase, topping $1.1 trillion in 2025, linear TV revenue will decline 3.4%. Despite growths in advertising towards streaming services, advertising on these platforms can be limiting – with smaller commercial spots and repeated advertisements toward individual consumers.

Statista reports increasing growths in digital video advertising, surpassing traditional TV advertising in the U.S. In 2025, digital video advertising is projected to reach over $90 billion, while traditional TV advertising will decrease to approximately $57 billion. Video streaming has disrupted the traditional TV ad model, making media companies more open to custom, creative, and deeply integrated advertising approaches. With a new wave of ad-supported streaming platforms, how will this further impact the advertising industry? Consumers are already committing to “cord-cutting” – do ad-supported streaming services increase or decrease this consumer shift? According to eMarketer article, younger TV audiences in the U.S. are more accepting of ad-supported streaming. With 66% of TV consumers who prefer ad-supported streaming over ad-free options, streaming platforms are likely to expand further into advertising models. This shift is already, and will continue, to impact the traditional media advertising structure that has ruled linear TV for decades.
