About Hispanos
Unidos
Hispanos Unidos Newspaper, is San Diego and Riverside Counties leading
Spanish language newspaper with over 20 years in providing quality
service to its Spanish speaking readers since 1987. The business
milestone was celebrated at its annual gala dinner on December
31, 1996, with the unveiling of the newspaper's new format, a
contemporary broad sheet style with easy to read type, more photographs
and graphics.
Publisher M. Ana Hannegan said, "This is
an important milestone for both Hispanos Unidos and for the Hispanic
community. We have served our readers with a publication that
is concerned for its community and we are always seeking ways
to do our work better. Our new format is a perfect example. We
take pride in our 20 year history and we look forward to many
years to come. Looking back on the last twenty years we have
published 1,144 issues, with over 30 million copies and over
150,800 weekly readers, Wow! I'm very impress with the accomplishments
of Hispanos Unidos."
Hispanos Unidos was founded by Jaime Alemán Castañeda
who still serves as its editor. The newspaper has grown from
a circulation of 2,500 copies per month in 1987 to a 26,000 weekly
copies today. Readership studies by ADM Communications of San
Diego show a total weekly audience of well over 150,800 readers.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors had named the newspaper,
"The Finest Spanish language newspaper in San Diego County"
on Sept. 16, 1990. Again in 1996, graciously, the San Diego County
Board of Supervisors proclaimed and congratulated Hispanos Unidos
Newspaper "Hispanos Unidos Newspaper Day" throughout
San Diego County, on Dec. 31, 1996.
Editor Jaime Alemán
Castañeda stated, "As a local community newspaper,
people and organizations look towards us for leadership, our
participation and support. We have always tried to show a better
picture of the Hispanic issues and community images. In this
line of work, you can't help from getting involved in your community.
As of a result we have been involved as a founding member of
the San Diego County Hispanic Chamber of San Diego, California
Chicano Newspaper Media Association, California Hispanic Publishers
Association, United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the
