Hawaii Hispanic News Returns In Time for Cinco De Mayo

The Hawaii Hispanic News, a free monthly newspaper, is being re-launched May 1, 2008 – just in time for Cinco De Mayo. It will fuse Hawaii content and advertising with local, national, and international, material about Hispanics.

The 16-page publication will address the unique needs and interests of Hawaii’s 100,000 Hispanic resident community. Its coverage will range from serious matters — such as religion and immigration — to lighter topics, such as entertainment and lifestyles.

The newspaper was originally published from 1994 – 1999, but publisher José Villa says: “We were ahead of our time. Corporate Hawaii had not realized the tremendous growth of the Hispanic community in Hawaii. Now, with 100,000 residents — roughly 9% of the state’s population — it’s a new ballgame and now Corporate Hawaii wants to play.”

Villa adds: “By distributing our newspaper free through the various venues our Hispanic community congregates in: Hispanic restaurants; Latin dances; churches; store fronts; universities; military bases; Hispanic organizations; private and public school Spanish clubs; etc. – it is now easy to reach Hawaii’s Hispanic community with just one buy.”

Hawaii’s highly-diverse Hispanic community extends from the more densely-populated areas of Honolulu, Waikiki, and Oahu’s major military base communities, to the less densely-populated areas in Kauai, Maui, and the Big Island.
