Farmworker News
The Farmworker News (FN) is a free, bimonthly, bilingual (Spanish/English) newspaper distributed throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The FN, with a circulation of 44,000, conveys important information to farmworkers about how to safeguard their health and that of their families. It is distributed primarily through migrant health centers, migrant education providers and farmworker health and advocacy organizations. Bulk supplies are available to any organization that wishes to distribute it to farmworkers.
Because farmworkers confront unique barriers to health sources (some of which might be: frequent migration, foreign primary language, non-mainstream culture, lower education attainment, prejudicial treatment by some, tenuous immigration status, etc.), the articles strive to be sensitive to their special needs. The articles are written using lay terminology and low level vocabulary, in both languages.
The goal of the FN is to reach as many farmworkers as it can with health information that will encourage them to get to a clinic for regular visits. The articles inform about serious illness that can be helped if treated early, as well as preventative information for a healthy lifestyle. The FN presents the latest, most updated information on health issues so that the farmworkers can feel informed and in control of their and their families' health. Every article offers means to contact someone for further information pertaining to the health subject.
