Nuestro Estado is an independent Spanish language newsroom that informs the Latinx community in South Carolina by providing culturally competent service journalism.

We empower our Latinx community by uplifting their concerns, accomplishments and voices that are often unseen in traditional media. Our community-first approach has proven to be effective in informing and building deep trusting relationships with Latinx residents in SC.

Our work uplifting our Latinx community has been referenced by The Washington Post, WebMD, Charleston City Paper, WIS News 10, ABC 15 and GoUpstate.
