THE AMERICANO launches today. Happy Hispanic Heritage month!


I love this site because I love reading in English and Spanish - at the same time!

Even if it sounds like a joke, it's not. In The Americano you'll find a different take on news and opinion. Hints:
1) balanced view on all the issues that concern American Hispanics today.
2) a place where people can express themselves and read about similar traditional principles.

Sylvia Garcia, Editor in Chief says that the site is inclusive of all americanos that have come to live in the United States: “Whether you are first, second, third or fourth generation American Hispanic – or whether you speak English or Spanish or both –our content is catered to what unites us all, which is our American Hispanic Heritage.”

Some of the most unique pieces are categorized under Hispanic Heritage. These are all articles which link U.S. history to true conservative American Hispanic values. “Hispanic Heritage is as rich today in the United States, as it was back in the 1850s when the first bilingual newspapers were printed,” states Newt Gingrich. “We think The Americano will provide a much needed traditional values viewpoint that will honor that heritage.”

Alberto Acereda, Content Director explains that the goal was to create the first Hispanic news and opinion site where content was hand-picked to create a grassroots Latino base, geared towards traditional values.
