What does Spanglish storytelling look like? We asked journalists from across the United States to tell us a story about a zip code in their community in Spanglish. The result is a wide array of stories from different corners of the country. The scale next to each tells you how much of each language you can expect in each story. Some stories are predominantly in English with a little bit of Spanish, others are predominantly in Spanish with sprinkles of English—and others are a 50/50 split.
To give you a better sense of the of the amount of English/Spanish in each video, we've approximated the balance.
