History
The media company was founded in 1999 as the monthly broadsheet newspaper The Spanish Journal (Spanish: La Jornada Latina), which was published in Cincinnati. In 2006, TSJ News was bought by Blue Ash, Ohio–based Gate West Coast Ventures, LLC, which also owns the translation company Strategic Spanish. As a division of Gate West Coast, TSJ expanded to several other markets in the Midwestern United States.[2][3]

TSJ's print publications are centrally produced in Cincinnati, while ads are sold by local staff.[1] For the most part, TSJ publication are written in Spanish, although some sections may be written in English for ESL students.

Broadcasting
In September 2001, the Spanish Journal Network briefly experimented with a weekly radio talk show on Christian radio station WTSJ 1050 AM (now WCVX), called Noticiero Latino–Radio en Español, but the show was cancelled on December 26, 2005, for financial reasons.
After launching an information-by-telephone service (iNFO-TELEFONO) and converting the newspaper from a monthly publication to a weekly one, the Spanish Journal Network resumed broadcasts of Radio en Español in Spring 2005 on WDBZ 1230 AM, airing each Sunday with six hours of programming.[5]
TSJ Media operates two Spanish-language radio stations, which it took over under Gate West Coast ownership:
- WOXY "La Mega 97.7 FM" in Mason, Ohio (Cincinnati)
- WVKO-FM "Mega 103.1" in Columbus, Ohio[2]
As of 2011, TSJ also sells advertising for three Davidson Media–owned affiliates:[4]
