"El Nuevo Día" ("The New Day") is a main newspaper written in Spanish based in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and distributed daily throughout Puerto Rico and some parts of the mainland United States.

History

El Nuevo Día was originally founded in 1909 in the city of Ponce as "El Diario de Puerto Rico," later changing its name to "El Día" in 1911. In 1948, the newspaper was acquired by Ponce native and future governor Luis A. Ferré and to this day remains under the ownership of the Ferré family. After being elected governor in 1968, Ferré's oldest son, Antonio Luis Ferré, bought the newspaper. Two years later, the newspaper was moved to San Juan and renamed "El Nuevo Día," as it is now known. The first director of "El Nuevo Día" was Carlos Castañeda. During their first years in San Juan, the newsroom was located in the "Torre de la Reina" building, located nearby Luis Muñoz Rivera Park in Puerta de Tierra. In 1986, the newspaper moved to its current offices located in the municipality of Guaynabo.

El Nuevo Día Today

"El Nuevo Día" continues to be owned and published by the Ferré family. The newspaper's current president is María Eugenia Ferré Rangel and the current editor is Luis Alberto Ferré Rangel. As of 2006, El Nuevo Día is the most widely read newspaper in Puerto Rico, with a daily circulation of 155,000.

Its main competitor in terms of sales is "El Vocero". Content-wise, both papers have somewhat different news formats and audiences. While "El Nuevo Día" has been known largely for its political reporting, "El Vocero" has traditionally taken a more tabloid-oriented approach, giving greater prominence to news stories on daily street crime. More recently, however, "El Vocero" has begun to give greater emphasis to political and business news, making it a more direct competitor to "El Nuevo Día."

Apart from political and community news, "El Nuevo Día" also has a sports section, a show business section and a business section among the news sections they publish daily. Its previous television commercial campaign slogan read: "El Nuevo Día: Un Gran Periodico" ("El Nuevo Día: A Great Newspaper"). The campaign slogan recently changed to: "El Nuevo Día: Conocer es Crecer" ("El Nuevo Día: Knowing is Growing")

El Nuevo Dia Orlando

The Newspaper has a Orlando edition called "El Nuevo Dia Orlando". It was founded on September 2, 2003 and is published on weekdays. On November 13, 2006, the newspaper began to circulate free of charge , and has been such a success that 25,000 copies are now published daily. A study showed that 96% percent of readers who read the Orlando edition read it at home. Due to poor the state of the newspaper industry in general, the newspaper will cease publication effectively on August 29, 2008.

Controversies

El Nuevo Día has been controversial for a variety of reasons. One of the most notable controversies that the newspaper was involved in was with former Governor of Puerto Rico, Dr. Pedro Rosselló. During Rosselló's tenure as governor "El Nuevo Día" published a variety of articles in which it denounced irregularities and possible acts of corruption by the governor's administration. Rosselló, in dislike of the accusations that were made by the newspaper, decided to void all the government contracts and refused to publish any public announcement in the newspaper. This actions led to a lawsuit by "El Nuevo Dia" against the Government of Puerto Rico for alleged discrimination and violation of their rights as press. Rosselló later decided to reach a settlement with the newspaper out of court.
