[edit] History
The newspaper was created in 1963 through the merger of El Diario de Nueva York (established 1947) and La Prensa (established 1913 by Rafael Viera) when both were purchased by O. Roy Chalk. [1] In 1981, Chalk sold the newspaper to Gannett, which owned it until 1989. El Diario La Prensa merged with the Los Angeles-based La Opinión in 2004 to form ImpreMedia. La Opinión is the largest Spanish-language newspaper publisher in the United States.
The newspaper has won many awards from the National Association of Hispanic Publications. In 2005, its awards included first place for editorial writing, political and cultural reporting, and feature writing.
El Diario's chief competitor is Hoy, a Spanish-language daily with 180,000 readers in New York. However, on February 12, 2007, ImpreMedia announced that they had purchased the New York edition of Hoy from the Tribune Company. [2]
