H.Res. 804 is a congressional resolution recognizing the importance and contributions of Spanish-language media in the United States. The resolution acknowledges that over 41 million Americans speak Spanish at home and emphasizes how Spanish-language news outlets serve these communities by providing essential information on elections, public health, and civic matters while combating misinformation. The resolution also highlights how Spanish-language entertainment media celebrates Latino culture, supports education through bilingual content, creates jobs, and strengthens cross-cultural understanding across the country. This is a non-binding resolution that commends Spanish-language journalists and broadcasters while encouraging support for policies that promote language access and sustain Spanish-language media outlets. The resolution has no direct funding or implementation timeline, as it is a statement of congressional recognition rather than legislation that creates new programs or appropriates money.
