A weekly television series about New York's ethnic, independent and community media

On this edition of Independent Sources, we talk about the fallout from Arizona's controversial immigration law - will this push immigration reform back to the forefront of the President's agenda?  Also, is this a crucial point for immigration activists to revamp their strategy?  We examine the growing concern among Puerto Rico's LGBT community, that the media may be culpable in promoting anti-gay sentiments on the island. Then, we look at a growing trend among New York Mosques.
