WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El Latino Semanal Inc. has signed a strategic partnership with Hispanic Media Works Inc. to expand the digital distribution of the Latino’s printed edition and maintain the news and distribution site www.ellatinodigital.com.  Both Florida companies are experienced in the Hispanic market in South Florida. 

“We have been tasked to take the Latino Semanal into the future and to increase the publication’s market share today,” commented Jose R. Uzal, Hispanic Media Works General Manager. Mr. Uzal added, “Our digital expertise and proven track record of media management moved El Latino Semanal into the digital age.  To increase our market share we are moving El Latino Semanal away from the present print media business model: Yesterday’s news with today’s advertising.”

The free digital distribution of our weekly publication and the accompanying website that updates our publication hourly were the most significant changes in our 40 years of publishing.”
