Welcome to Ethnic Media Services!

This is the page for Ethnic Media Services (EMS), a consortium of over 2,000 ethnic media outlets nationwide. EMS launched in 2018 to continue the critical work of engaging immigrant and minority communities through ethnic media. EMS' launch came shortly after the closure of New America Media (NAM) in Nov. 2017. Since then, we at EMS have been continuing to work with our partners in ethnic media to produce important and informative content, to raise critical issues, and to be champions of this important media sector.
