The Melting Pot

New York is also called the “Melting Pot” because of its cosmopolitan society (including many nationalities and languages). More than 80 languages are spoken in New York. Spanish is the second most common language, after English, reflecting the high number of people coming from Puerto Rico, the Carribbean, Central and South America.

In New York many of the most influential newspapers and magazines are centered, such as
The New York Times, The New York Post, The New York Daily News and the magazine Time.
Manhattan is also home to three major private broadcasting networks – ABS, CBS and NBS
(American Broadcasting System, Columbia Broadcasting System, National Broadcasting Service).
