For 17 years, Jaime Mendez served as the main anchor of Seattle’s only local Spanish-language newscast. That came to an end in late 2023 when Sinclair Broadcasting dropped its Seattle Univision affiliate. But on Jan. 1, 2024, Mendez and his wife, Diana Oliveros, launched Se Habla Media, an independent outlet providing Spanish-language news and information. In an era marked by ICE raids and deportations, their program, Jaime Mendez News, has become a vital and trusted source for a Spanish-speaking community living in fear.
