La Voz

La Voz, cultura y noticias hispanas del Valle de Hudson is an award-winning free Spanish language magazine serving the 140,000 Latinos living in the Mid–Hudson Valley and Catskill regions.
Mariel Fiori '05 and Emily Schmall '05 founded La Voz in 2004 as a TLS student project at Bard College. Thanks mostly to student volunteers, this magazine is a highly respected local publication, winning awards for its overall design and cultural content from the New York Community Media Alliance and from the Dutchess County Executive. Today, this Bard College–sponsored publication prints and distributes 6,000 copies each month throughout Dutchess, Ulster, Orange, Columbia and Sullivan counties for an estimated 30,000 readers.
