OUR STORY
The Prisma – The Multicultural Newspaper has been a benchmark for bilingual (Spanish/English), ethical, independent, and pioneering journalism in the UK for 15 years. As the first weekly bilingual newspaper dedicated to immigrant communities, we have published thousands of articles, interviews, investigations, and columns on human rights, racism, refugees, immigration laws, and issues often ignored or stigmatised by mainstream media.
From London, our global team of volunteers—editors, journalists, columnists, photographers, translators, and designers—has built bridges between British society and immigrant communities, particularly Latin Americans, challenging prejudice and advocating for their dignity, labour, and civil rights.
This work has been carried out amidst a migration crisis and hostile policies towards immigrants.
Fifteen years of achievements underpin our work. In 2022, we won the International Reporting of the Year award from the Independent Media Association (IMA). In 2013, we hosted the first multicultural debate in the House of Commons in Westminster, titled “Multiculturalism in the UK: Does It Have a Future?”, to a full house. Various media outlets, including The Guardian, have recognised our efforts for and with immigrant communities.
We are proud members of the Independent Media Association (IMA), Impress, and the Coalition of Latin Americans in the UK (CLAUK). We were also co-founders of the Latin American Recognition Campaign (LARC), which secured official recognition of Latin American identity in two London boroughs.
WHY DO WE NEED YOUR HELP?
After 15 years of voluntary work, The Prisma faces a crisis. Although our website remains online, a unique historical archive on immigration in the UK is currently inaccessible. Over 8,000 articles written across a decade cannot be accessed due to previous cyberattacks, which we overcame, but the content still requires restoration.
We also need funds to maintain the website, cover administrative costs (such as server fees, accounting, and Impress membership), and, for the first time, provide modest remuneration for a small core team to ensure sustainability. This team will manage social media, website maintenance, editing, translation, and journalistic content.
Without support, The Prisma risks disappearing at a time when its voice is more vital than ever to counter fake news and hostile narratives against immigrant communities.
