I came across your channel by your piece on Oaxaca and I was moved by it because you were close to the story. You understood, as a Puerto Rican woman, what it meant for rural Mexican people to be affected by gentrification. Congrats on the sponsor and I wish you much luck in the next year.
ÉXITO! La VOCACIÓN no se puede controlar, tu voz es íntegra y eso es lo que queremos ver al comunicar cada historia que no es contada, ignorada o manipulada por los medios .
Gracias Bianca, you're honesty and integrity are commendable. It's been a joy to watch you grow and flourish. There's so much fluff, filler, lies, and outright bias on the news. It's Democracy Now for me. Nos hace sentir orgulloso✊🏽💖💯
Thank you for keeping real journalism alive when corporate media is doing its best to kill it. The media is owned by big corporations and works in the interests of its ownership and sponsors. Independent journalists sacrifice stability, income, and time to provide an essential service. What you are doing takes commitment and courage!
Thank you, Bianca, for venturing away from the job security and potential for a lucrative promotion that lures so many aspiring journalists to stay within the confines of the corporate system. It is a testament to your bravery and professional integrity that you chose such a risky path. Your principled stance is worthy of emulation. As long as talented reporters remain seduced by the glamour, exposure and pay that corporate news provides, they will never be able to live up to their highest calling as journalists - that calling is to be warriors in service of what is true and to speak that truth to power.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel after hurricane Maria. As a 2nd generation Puerto Rican who grew up without knowledge of Spanish, I appreciate the knowledge and understanding I'm able to get from watching you. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I've been following you since 2020 and I've seen your growth and it makes me happy to see our generation "90s kids" actually making our voice heard. Me alegra más todavia que seas boricua y estés teniendo está clase de triunfo! Tus reportajes y videos en YT son muy buenos y de temas importantes e interesantes. Te seguiré apoyando muy buen trabajo! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Thank you for your honesty, bravery and commitment. You make me proud to be Puerto Rican. Keep up your great work, it's needed more than ever in today's world of mis/dis information.
Una exreportera, impulsada por el trabajo duro, la honestidad y un genuino deseo de hacer la diferencia, podría, sin duda, llegar a convertirse en una reina por derecho propio. Al igual que un peón en el juego de ajedrez, comienza desde unos comienzos humildes, a menudo pasada por alto y no apreciada. Sin embargo, a través de su perseverancia y dedicación, navega por los desafíos, aprendiendo y evolucionando en el camino. El movimiento limitado del peón refleja las restricciones que podría enfrentar al principio de su viaje, pero su determinación y compromiso con sus metas pueden impulsarla hacia adelante, así como el peón avanza por el tablero, ganando fuerza y propósito. Así como el peón se transforma en una reina al llegar al extremo opuesto del tablero de ajedrez, esta persona también podría experimentar una transformación similar. Con cada paso, gana la experiencia y la influencia necesarias para tener un impacto significativo, finalmente alcanzando una posición de poder y autoridad. A través de sus esfuerzos por marcar la diferencia, basados en el trabajo arduo y la integridad, evoluciona hasta convertirse en una figura que puede comandar respeto e inspirar el cambio, al igual que la reina, la pieza más poderosa en el tablero de ajedrez.
Well done on all accounts! Not only do you succinctly share your journey, but you help demonstrate the values of perseverance and determination, and that having success doesn't necessitate compromising your integrity. Beyond the stories themselves, your commitment is undoubtedly inspiring others, including aspiring journalists or others in different industries. All the best in 2025 and beyond. God bless you!
8:40 "I don't think there is such a thing as being objective in news." She explicitly talks about how bias is inherent in everything we do, say, or see, and that it's more important to acknowledge this and be open about it. Also, Bianca's news isn't free. Just because we're not paying for it doesn't mean it's free. :P Like everyone else, she's has bills to pay which is why she accepted the sponsorship from Ground News. That said, every other channel I follow that has featured Ground News as a sponsor has built their respective brands on being open and transparent about what their biases, while still making an effort to always discuss their topics with reason and depth. So as far as I'm concerned, Bianca's in good company. :D
There's nothing "New" about The News . . . It's 'repetition' of the same stories . . . My cousin was a local news videographer. Every year during the first major rain event (West Coast), they would send him to "The Same" intersection which had a damaged drainage system, which was "guaranteed" to flood. Then the reporter would stand there and say, "It's raining hard, LOOK at All This Flooding!" . . . If they were a "real" reporter, they would have said, "It's been 5 years, is the County ever going to repair this damaged drainage system?"
Glad that you made the jump away from the corporations and towards a project that is in line with the original goal of news media - to create an informed and engaged populace by telling stories that matter! Your passion, experience, and insights are what we need in our media environment today. Thank you, and best of luck!
Nice work 👍Your story resonates a lot. I'm starting from zero in PR after quitting my job as an aerospace engineer for ethical reasons. It's not easy but it does feel a lot better to struggle while doing the right thing. I recently moved to PR and have been visiting CAM Caguas because of your report. I also bought your walking tour map to try it out when I got here. I'm looking forward to the new episodes.
Tu has hecho y te mantienes como la diferencia en el firmamento medistico en Puerto Rico. Es un placer verte trabajar. Estas en el futuro, y probablemente para ti, pase lo que pase.
I worry you will forever be under appreciated. I don’t think your quality and insight could be done in any other landscape, regardless of funding source. Obviously corporate media is useless and dying, super smart to bail on that and start your own thing! You are a hero, and should be extremely proud of what you do!
Estoy muy orgulloso del trabajo que haces, he aprendido y me he educado mucho con sus reportajes y todo el contenido que le ofreces al público. Su trabajo es muy profesional e informativo, estoy muy contento porque ahora me voy a informar y a educar todos los meses con todo su trabajo y dedicación que nos entregas a nosotros. Muchas gracias que hay personas como usted que ofrecen todo su trabajo y esfuerzo para que otras personas como yo podamos aprender de nuestra comunidad, sociedad y todo lo que pasa al alrededor de este mucho. Muchas gracias
Great discussion of how to be transparent about bias, acknowledge it, and deal with it. I've heard other people discuss this similar to your view, and it is always valuable to rebroadcast these ideas.
Bianca, congratulations. Your content is awesome. It’s obvious it’s well thought out and structured with a purpose. I look forward to more content. Keep up the great work. 🎉
Gracias Bianca por enseñarnos la verdad❤ Thank you Bianca for showing us the truth about the biased corporate mainstream media YOU HAVE GAINED A NEW SUBSCRIBER ✌
It baffles me how some people try to tell you, (or persuade you?) how to "understand" the context you live in. I don't need anybody to tell me how things are, I'm literally seen it with my own eyes. The fact that somebody else told you Puerto Rico isn't an US colony (or at the very least isn't treated like one), despite you've been born and live there is borderline ignorance, I mean who is actually more aware of that: outsiders, bootlicker corporate persons, or the real people living in there? I found your channel just before the Oaxaca video was up and your content is insightful. Also the fact you address your audience both in spanish and english is really apreciated (on a not so unrelated note I find your spanish accent fascinating). ¡Saludos desde México!
🇺🇲 Great to hear! I avoid TV, and most mainstream media type channels for decades now! I'd rather click-around the internet and experiment with small, independent websites and videos and podcasts than to ever victimize myself again with mindless, hollow, false, pro-war, pro-israel, pro-commercial advertisements, from TV "programming"! I do my own programming
Te Deseo Lo mejor and you have my support that's why I don't watch corporate media anymore is a Ham Radio operator I have learned a lot good luck wish you the best
We APPRECIATE you Ms. Bianca! (& All the other folks doing serious journalism. I no longer even waste time/energy viewing that "news-tainment" nonsense).
This has been the trend in corporate news media for probably about 4 decades now. Ever since news outlets started getting bought up by profit-focused owners, the industry has been increasingly incentivized to generate content, thus attract viewer eyeballs (or engagement, as we call that metric these days), thus attract advertisers, and generate revenue. In this ecosystem, meaningful news is not as valuable as sensational news. That's been a feature of stories, accounts, and news in printed media since the yellow journalism of the 1800s, and before that in ancient writings going back to the Classical era. People may SAY they appreciate hearing good news or insightful news. But decades of quantified media research says drama and outrage pull in way more eyeballs and engagement. So the media machine evolved and competed against itself to give the public the logical endgame of what they want -- an exhausting 24/7 cycle of endless drama (political, entertainment, societal, whatever), high profile criminality, etc. Part of this mechanic is that they avoid giving viewers context or any useful quantification of the news being reported. e.g. car theft increased by 10,000 cars last year. Up from what baseline? What's the percentage change? Not important. They just want to get the viewer's pulse racing from hearing ooh big number scary. :P Thankfully w access to Google, any news we read can be fact-checked and provided background context, technical details, etc with only 20-30 seconds of Google searching per question. THe trick is just motivating ourselves to actually do these searches. Or like paying a personal trainer to outsource our personal responsibility, we can pay for external news tools like Ground News so that we don't have to do 30 seconds of heavy mental lifting and typing. ANyway, I'll stop my unsolicited soapbox rant.

Love your work! Be safe and have a Merry Christmas!
Isn't a sponsorship leaning in one particular direction, that would be yours in terms of a particular video?
As a fan I would really appreciate if you would share what was your major; (i.e.: Communication or Journalism or Broadcasting)????
New subbie
Independent journalism is not an easy challenge by any means but it's deeply appreciated
Doing real journalism instead of going the easy route. Mad respect.
I came across your channel by your piece on Oaxaca and I was moved by it because you were close to the story. You understood, as a Puerto Rican woman, what it meant for rural Mexican people to be affected by gentrification. Congrats on the sponsor and I wish you much luck in the next year.
Thank you for pursuing the truth.
ÉXITO! La VOCACIÓN no se puede controlar, tu voz es íntegra y eso es lo que queremos ver al comunicar cada historia que no es contada, ignorada o manipulada por los medios .
It’s a beautiful thing you are doing. We need more people like you. I wish you all the best. Love your work.
She's the poster picture for not selling your soul.
Lol🤣🤣🤣
A lol tells me that you are a 39 + millenial. With a pro establishmrnt handle we wont take your vulgar trolling seriously.@@theestablishmenta7903

Hay que salvar a PR y lo que somos

Your a smart woman, you know what your doing, wishing you the best

i love you're journalism, its very in depth of the topics with extensive investigations
keep up the great work Bianca! Journalism only works if it is free from biased entities and corporate media
Free as in freedom, should be added. Although free as in costs also helps with story outreach.
@Cuperino free as in freedom indeed

It’s concerning how stretch is a focus of news media, seems like a ripe place for AI to churn out noise instead of depth
