We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with news that marks a turning point for our media platform. El Comercio de Colorado has joined LatidoBeat, a national coalition of local Spanish-language media outlets created to strengthen Latino journalism in the United States. LatidoBeat brings together seven of the most important and credible media organizations serving our communities.

La Opinión of Los Angeles and El Diario of New York, both century-old publications, along with La Raza of Chicago, La Prensa of Houston, La Prensa of Orlando, La Noticia of Charlotte, and our own El Comercio de Colorado make up LatidoBeat. Together, we contribute decades of work informing, connecting, and amplifying the voices of the Hispanic community. This coalition is not just a content-sharing agreement.

LatidoBeat is an innovation platform seeking new ways to grow and collaborate, built on four strategic pillars: equity, participation, progress, and visibility for our content. With the support of Google News Initiative and the leadership of the Local Media Association, this network will allow our stories to reach a national audience and fill information gaps in Hispanic communities across the country.

For El Comercio de Colorado, this is a unique opportunity. Through our print and digital spaces, we will continue practicing civic and solutions journalism — but now, with the ability to ensure that the voices of Colorado Latinos, and their stories, achievements, and challenges, are heard throughout the United States. Our mission has always been to serve as a bridge between the community and institutions, and now that bridge extends from coast to coast.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we reaffirm our commitment to bringing the stories of our people to a national stage. Because every local story is also part of the larger narrative of Latinos in the United States — and today, thanks to LatidoBeat, that narrative is stronger than ever.
