OTHER STORIES IN THIS ISSUE:
David Archuleta on Top
David Archuleta, the first Hispanic contestant to make it as a finalist on American Idol, talks to PEOPLE en Espanol about his newfound fame, how he almost did not make it, and his plans for the future. “I’ve always imagined myself on stage,” says Archuleta, who at 17-years-old, placed second, after David Cook, on the hit reality show series.
Even after millions of votes and his “Archie” fan club, he still remains humble. “I thought nobody liked to hear me sing,” says Archuleta. However, his accomplishments are nothing short of a miracle. About a year and a half ago, Archuleta received medical treatment for paralysis in his vocal cords. “The doctor said there is somebody up there who wants him to sing because, medically speaking, he should not be able to,” says Archuleta’s father.
He’s now gearing up for the American Idols Live! Tour 2008 and will also start recording his first album as a solo artist. “I feel a connection when I hear other people singing. If I can accomplish that, it would make me feel so good,” says Archuleta. (Page 143)

July 30, 2008Al Dia Triples Circulation - Dallas
Filed under [ Business ] [ Media ] [ Press Releases ] [ Blogante Business ] [ Blogante Business Essentials ]
Tags: Al Dia, circulation, Fort Worth, newspaper, Spanish-language
The expansion of Al Dia’s distribution is in response to North Texas’ ever-growing Spanish-speaking population and the increased demand for Spanish-language news and information.
Al Dia’s increased distribution also provides an avenue for advertisers who want to target the Latino community and Spanish-speaking consumers — a segment of the population that continues to grow in importance for many local retailers.
“This is a very aggressive move by Al Dia to better serve its consumers and advertisers. Tripling our circulation while others are shrinking theirs demonstrates our commitment to serve the growing Latino community in North Texas,” said Alejandro Sanchez Sobrino, publisher of Al Dia.
Cindy Carr, senior vice president for niche publications, said, “Al Dia’s advertising partners want more from the newspaper — more reach, more value, more of the potential customers that they value most. Tripling our circulation responds to those needs.”
The Dallas Morning News has partnered with American Circulation Innovations to manage Al Dia’s expansion. ACI specializes in targeted distribution and employs state-of-the-art product technology to ensure accurate and effective delivery. They have been in business since 1965 and distribute publications in dozens of markets. ACI will also handle distribution responsibilities for The News’ new product Briefing, planned for launch in late-August.
According to ACI’s Ken Higdon - Vice President of Business Development, “We are pleased and honored that Al Dia named us the distribution provider for this important initiative. They recognized our experience and the leading edge technologies we have to carry out their expanded circulation project, tools like GPS, devices for geofencing, sophisticated demographic analysis and proven hands-on experience with tight supervision and verifiers. These were all critical in us being selected for distributing Al Dia.”
Key advertisers have applauded this move. Quoting a leading print media buying service, Mr. Trevor Hansen, president and CEO of Ethnic Print Media Group, said, “EPMG is looking forward to the expansion of Al Dia’s distribution in the Dallas market. The circulation increase and free home delivery will be a great asset to both our pre-print and traditional ROP clients. Al Dia’s overall quality, strong content and increased market penetration provides an attractive and strong reach in the Dallas market.”
Al Dia’s expanded distribution will serve the community by providing outstanding, award winning journalism to a much larger segment of the population and extended reach and value to advertisers,” added Sanchez.

Meredith Hispanic Ventures Will Relaunch Espera and 12 Meses Under the Ser Padres Umbrella
Filed under [ Business ] [ Media ] [ Press Releases ] [ Blogante Business ] [ Blogante Business Essentials ]
Tags: book, circulation, Spanglish
“This is a natural and critical evolution for Meredith Hispanic Ventures,” commented Ruth Gaviria, executive director of Meredith Hispanic Ventures. “Meredith acquired Espera and 12 Meses with American Baby from Prime Media in 2002. Since then, we have acquired and re-launched Ser Padres and launched Siempre Mujer, the leading lifestyle and service magazine for women. Now, Espera and 12 Meses will capitalize on the 18-year brand equity of Ser Padres. Our content portfolio now reaches one in three Hispanic moms in the United States.”
Ser Padres Espera will be published three times a year (spring, summer and fall/winter issues) — up from twice a year — and will also increase its annual circulation by 35% to 1.05 million expectant mothers. The title will continue to be distributed through OB-GYN offices as a standalone magazine. Ser Padres Bebe will continue to be distributed in maternity wards through sampler bags, with a yearly circulation of 600,000, and will be perfect bound. Both titles will reflect the needs and aesthetic of the young Hispanic expectant or first-time mother.
Meredith Hispanic Ventures will also launch Mimosblog.com, a blog by the editors of Ser Padres that addresses the pre and post natal concerns of Hispanic mothers up to their child’s pre-teen years. The blog, launching August 4, will seek to create a community of women with interactive features like “My Favorite Photo” and “The Things They Say!,” popular features in Ser Padres magazine. Mimosblog.com will navigate bilingually in Spanish, English and Spanglish, reflecting the language preferences of this young Hispanic mom.
“There has been 82% growth in unique Spanish-preferred Hispanic visitors to blogs and many of those turn to blogs for informational purposes or to stay in touch with friends and family and meet new peers,” explained Oliva. “Mimosblog.com will be the online hub for Hispanic moms, where they can share their concerns, tips and advice and receive immediate feedback from women just like them. We know that one in three babies will be born to a Hispanic woman in the U.S. in the next decade and it remains our mission to educate, inspire and support them through many media platforms.” “*

Continental Airlines and National Association of Hispanic Publications Announce Essay Contest Winner
Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Press Releases ]
Tags: book, circulation, latin america, Panama, Spanish-language
Blanco, a May 2008 graduate of YES Prep School - Southeast in Houston, highlighted the influence of Latin America on his own life in his winning essay, “The Manifestation of Culture.”
“I love our music, our food, our films and our unspoken bond that unites us,” Blanco wrote. “Our united passion is what inspires me to live on as a young Latino destined to change the world.”
Blanco, the son of Bernardo Blanco, originally from Panama, and Rosantina Blanco, who is Mexican-American, won six Continental Airlines tickets to travel anywhere in the U.S. where Continental flies. In addition, his essay will be posted on the NAHP website, nahp.org, as well as published in many NAHP member newspapers around the U.S.
“Part of being Latino comes from family relationships. I chose this topic because my family gave me my roots and my culture,” Blanco said when he learned he had won. “My family has definitely played a great influence on who I am, and the culture plays a role in who we are as a community.”
“The judges had a difficult choice to make this year because the essays we received were especially heartfelt,” said Maria Cristina Osorio, Manager, Public Relations, Latin America and U.S. Hispanic, Continental Airlines. “Carlos just seemed to sum up the essence of Latin American culture with such pride and feeling.”
Blanco, who will attend Columbia University in New York next fall, plans to major in education and journalism. Active in the community, Blanco is working this summer with the Houston Votes organization that encourages Latino voter participation, as well as volunteering with the Latino Learning Center.
“The NAHP is committed to encouraging student expression through programs such as ‘Destino: Latinoamerica,’” said Clara Padilla, president, NAHP. “We are pleased to join Continental in providing a way to let heritage and stories of Latin America’s impact on U.S. life be heard.”
This was the second year for the “Destino” contest. Essay entries had to focus on some aspect of the influence of Latin America on U.S. life. Judges from Continental and the NAHP evaluated the essays for clarity of expression and originality.
Latin America and the Caribbean account for more than half of Continental Airlines’ international destinations. Continental offers service to 76 destinations in 23 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, including nonstop service to 31 destinations in Mexico — more than any other airline. Continental also offers nonstop service to more Central American cities (10) than any other U.S. airline and serves nine South American destinations.
Continental offers a number of Spanish-language services, including bilingual flight attendants on many flights to Latin America; and bilingual airport personnel, reservations agents and signage. Spanish-language functions on the continental.com Web site include flight booking, check-in, seat selection, flight and gate information, and OnePass frequent flyer program enrollment. Passengers also may make reservations in Spanish at 1-800-537-9222. For more information, visit www.continental.com (www.continental.com/espanol) .

Queens Courier Establishes Outreach To Latin Population With Exclusive Spanish Edition
Filed under [ Business ] [ Media ] [ Language Issues ] [ Blogante Business ] [ New York ] [ New York City ]
Tags: circulation, demographics, newspaper, outreach, population, reporter
The Queens Courier, the principle community newspaper for the borough of Queens, New York, is establishing a Spanish language edition. Building on their long established tradition of keeping the residents of Queens educated on their social, moral and community obligations, the Queens Courier has grown from a single weekly newspaper to 11 publications, ranging from tourist oriented publications, like the Key to Queens, to community health related issues (like Healthwise) to businesses publications dedicated to the unique needs of people in Queens.
Founded in 1985 by Victoria Schneps-Yunis, and John Toscano, the Queens Courier grew from the realization that more and more apartment owners were going co-op, owning their apartments and having the same vested stake in their community that homeowners would have. Dedicated to informing the residents of Queens about bond issues, educational and school issues, and shining the light of good journalism on the events of merit in the community, the Queens Courier has expanded from a two person operation to one with more than 50 employees and reporters.
The Courier has always been focused on the needs of the community, and with the changing demographics in Queens, which is now more than 26% and growing, the need to provide Hispanic residents with the same information that the English speaking majority proved to be a clarion call to Schneps-Yunis.
“We have long believed that it is the power of the press, to enact long lasting change, that keeps the sinews of our community strong. We are the lifeline between all of our neighbors, the fabric that their lives interweaves to make a group of neighbors into a community of citizens. Without a Spanish language newspaper, we were not serving a vital and important segment of our readers, until now.”
In addition to listing events common to Queens, the Spanish edition (El Correo de Queens) covers Spanish language events, and gives advertisers looking to reach the Hispanic market an avenue that they’re comfortable with. The aim is to make sure that all the important news reaches everyone who needs to be reached, regardless of the language they read or speak in their homes. El Correo de Queens can be found in all the locations that other editions of the Queens Courier can be found in – ranging from banks, to gymnasiums and pharmacies and supermarkets. With a total circulation of over half a million copies of each issue, the Queens Courier is one of the highest circulation community newspapers in the country.

Free Small Business Disaster Planning Resource Now Available in Spanish
Filed under [ Business ] [ Press Releases ] [ Blogante Business ]
Tags: book, circulation, Hispanic Chamber, insurance, Spanish-language
At least one-fourth of all businesses that close because of a disaster never reopen, according to IBHS. Small businesses are especially vulnerable, because few of them have the resources or knowledge to assess disaster risks and develop comprehensive loss prevention and recovery plans.
The IBHS Open for Business(R) toolkit helps small businesses do such planning by determining essential business functions and organizing critical operations — even from a remote location. Thousands of copies of the booklet are in circulation across the country and more than 80,000 have been downloaded from the IBHS web site www.DisasterSafety.org.
The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce estimates there are more than 2.5 million Hispanic owned businesses in the U.S. that generate more than $388 billion in revenue annually.
“Businesses of all sizes and types need to plan for the unexpected in order to survive when disaster strikes,” said IBHS President and CEO Julie Rochman. “Small businesses are particularly vulnerable, because they typically operate on thin margins. Unforeseen interruptions — - even for just a few days — can be devastating to a company.
“Every business owner or manager should have access to easily understandable information that can enable them to keep their doors open, providing jobs and acting as an asset to its community in the aftermath of a natural or man-made disaster. Toward that end, we are proud to release this new Spanish-language version of Open for Business(R).”
Free single copies of the Open for Business(R) toolkit in English or Spanish are available by writing info@ibhs.org or by calling toll-free 1-866-657-4247. Download or print the toolkit from the IBHS web site www.DisasterSafety.org.
IBHS is an independent, nonprofit, scientific and educational organization supported by the property insurance industry. The organization works to reduce the social and economic effects of natural disasters and other risks to residential and commercial property by conducting research and advocating improved construction, maintenance and preparation practices.”*

More than 500 entries from dailies, weeklies, bi-weeklies and monthlies were submitted to the National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP). A panel of 12 judges selected gold, silver and bronze awards for categories of General Excellence, Outstanding Sections, Written Word, Design, Photos, Cartoons and Marketing.
Abel Arciniega, Extra Bilingual Newspaper’s design director and photographer, won a 2008 American Inhouse Design Award, presented by Graphic Design USA.

“There are so many aspects to the Latino culture - food, music, religion. I get a lot of ideas from my mom, small things I see her doing around the house, or from my dad. There is so much inspiration all over, not just from my family but from la raza in general,” commented Arciniega.
GDUSA, a monthly magazine for graphic design professionals received a record breaking 5,500 entries, with a little over 10 percent being honored with an embossed award certificate. The annual awards were created for design, marketing and communications departments to be recognized for their creativity and contribution to their businesses and institutions.

The Conference, co-chaired by Judith Martinez-Sadri, Co-founder and Editor of Atlanta Latino Newspaper, and Lino Dominguez, former publisher of Mundo Hispanico featured many great forums for sharing and learning about the latest newspaper and information technologies, marketing strategies and web publishing concepts. Highlights of the event included the Publisher’s Best Practices Roundtable, a case study and analysis of industry innovation featuring Lupita Colmenero, publisher of El Hispano News Dallas; Hernan Guaracao, publisher of Al Dia Philadelphia; and Adan Guerrero of La Frontera McAllen, discussing the future of Hispanic news media, content strategies and technology; The Immigration Day Luncheon sponsored by Cox Newspaper and moderated by Anibal Torres, publisher of Mundo Hispanico in Atlanta; “Hispanic Print in a Digital World” a strategic briefing by Alicia Morga, Founder & CEO of Consorte Media; and “The New World of Hispanic Print: Thinking for Business Success” by Monica Lozano, publisher of La Opinion and senior vice president ImpreMedia LLC which explored the keys to success for professionals and leaders in the Hispanic media business.
“NAHP helps me keep my focus. With the many downward trends in the general newspaper market, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that the Hispanic newspaper market is different. We are growing in readership and circulation,” said Fanny Miller, of El Latino Newspaper in San Diego. Robert Bard, publisher of LatinaStyle Magazine, thought the Publisher’s Best Practices Roundtable was best. “The presenters were very knowledgeable and did a great job of sparking ideas. Also, it was great to network with other participants and see what they were doing in the way of marketing and new products,” he said.
The conference featured numerous networking events, including a welcome reception hosted by Atlanta Latino Newspaper and sponsored by Chivas at the historic Fox Theatre, a special evening at the New World of Coca-Cola Museum at Pemberton Place sponsored by the Coca-Cola Company, the 23rd Annual Gala Reception sponsored by Miller Brewing Company, and the Gala Dinner sponsored by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. The closing Fiesta was sponsored by Anheuser Busch. Education session sponsors included the U.S. Army, Univision, General Motors, Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Cox Newspapers. Continental Airlines served as the official airline of the 23rd Annual NAHP Conference and Business Exposition.
“This year’s conference was outstanding. Our presenters offered dozens of new, innovative ideas and this year’s exhibitors showcased truly great products and services,” said NAHP National President Clara Padilla Andrews, who is also publisher of El Hispanic News in Portland, Oregon. She added “The 24th Annual Conference planning committee will be led by Jose Luis B. Garza of El Periodico USA of McAllen, Texas and we are now looking for speakers for the 2009 event.” Speaker recommendations or proposals may be sent via e-mail to memberservices@nahp.org
“We recognize that Hispanic newspaper and information publishers have their own unique set of marketing challenges and content requirements,” said Martinez-Sadri. “With that in mind, we built this year’s event to provide newspapers and their publishers with solid, hard-hitting discussions, roundtables and networking sessions around real-world best practices.”
The association honored Jose Zepeda, publisher of El Aviso Newspaper of Huntington Beach, California, by selecting him for the prestigious NAHP Lifetime Achievement Award. NAHP also recognized Eddie Escobedo, founder and publisher of El Mundo Nevada with a Presidential Award and Wal-Mart Stores was named Corporation of the Year in recognition of their longstanding support of Hispanic media and the communities they serve. The NAHP Presidential Award honorees are recognized for their outstanding service to the Hispanic and Spanish-Language publishing industry and to the association. Zepeda had served on the association’s board of directors and been an active contributor to many of the association’s initiatives and events.
Two NAHP member firms received the 2008 NAHP Technology Award sponsored by The Home Depot and the Miller Brewing Company. The award comes as a grant and provides $5,000 in funding for the acquisition of publishing and advertising sales technology. The 2008 Miller Brewing Company Technology Award went to Luis Eduardo Baron, publisher of the weekly newspaper 7 Dias, of Tampa, Florida. The Home Depot Technology Award went to Martha Gonzalez, publisher of the weekly newspaper La Prensa de Chicago, Chicago, Illinois.
NAHP also elected new Regional Directors including Filiberto Fernandez of Casa Y Hogar, Larchmont, New York for Region 1; Adan Guerrero of La Frontera, McAllen, Texas, for Region 4; and Fanny Miller of El Latino in San Diego, California for Region 7. They join re-elected Regional Directors Judith Martinez-Sadri, Atlanta Latino Newspaper, Atlanta, Georgia for Region 2; Dolores Sanchez of El Central Newspaper, Detroit, Michigan for Region 3; Fernando Aceves of Viva Spanish Newspaper, Toppenish, Washington for Region 5; and Jaime Larios of El Observador in San Jose, California for Region 6. “*
