Nearly $2 Million in New Grants and Major Growth Announced

at the 2025 National Association of Hispanic Publications Convention

SAN DIEGO— The 2025 National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP) Convention delivered a powerful message: Latino media is growing, unified, and more influential than ever. Held November 12–14 at the University of San Diego, the convention unveiled nearly $2 million in new grants, strengthened cross-industry alliances, and set the stage for unprecedented opportunities for Hispanic publishers and media partners nationwide.

The NAHP has experienced extraordinary expansion, with membership surging 71% since 2022—now representing 771 print and digital outlets. This growth reflects the association’s sharpened focus on empowering members as multiplatform Latino content creators, not just traditional publishers.

Collectively, NAHP members now reach 15.4 million Latinos every week—that’s 32% of all Latino adults in the United States. For brands and agencies, this represents one of the largest, most trusted, and most culturally relevant media networks serving Latino communities.

At a time when some Latino media operations are only focusing on English-speaking Latinos, the NAHP focuses on reaching Latinos in the language they want, Spanish and/or English.

The 2025 convention underscored NAHP’s deep commitment to cross-community coalition building. Today, NAHP collaborates closely with Black, Asian American, and Alternative media organizations nationwide, strengthening shared advocacy and expanding opportunities for partners who seek authentic multicultural reach.

This unity gives brands, agencies, and philanthropic partners a single, strategic entry point into diverse media sectors—grounded in community trust.

Regina Brown Wilson, CEO, California Black Media

Julian Do, American Community Media

Matt Pearce, Rebuild Local News

Tina Wu, News Media Alliance

Mago Torres, Google News Initiative

Their collective insights reinforced that Latino media is critical to the future of American journalism, community trust, and equitable representation.

Over the past two years, the NAHP Board has modernized its bylaws and operations to align with a digital-first publishing environment. The newly elected Executive Board includes:

Alvaro Gurdián, La Noticia – President

Evelyn Castro, La Prensa de Houston – Vice President

Jesús del Toro, La Raza – Marketing Vice President

Hector Felix Jr., El Informador del Valle – Membership Vice President

Ricardo Hurtado, El Sol Latino – Sales Vice President

Anthony Ibarria, El Especial – Weekly Newspaper Director

Jesús Sanchez, El Comercio de Colorado – Less-than-Weekly Newspaper Director

Ghisela Eljach, InSouth Magazine – Magazine Director

Bel Hernandez, Latin Heat – Podcast Director

Daniel Ajzen, Hispanopolis – Website Director

This expanded leadership ensures that every platform—from print to digital to audio—has a strong voice shaping NAHP’s future.

In 2025, NAHP strengthened and expanded collaborations with leading institutions and brands, including:  Knight Foundation, Google News Initiative, T-Mobile, Wells Fargo, Diageo, Verizon Small Business Digital Ready, California Black Media, and Scouting America.

These partnerships reflect a growing recognition of the essential role Latino media outlets play in civic engagement, economic empowerment, and culturally relevant communication.

Casi $2 Millones en Nuevas Subvenciones y un Crecimiento Significativo Anunciados en la Convención 2025 de la Asociación Nacional de Publicaciones Hispanas

SAN DIEGO— La Convención 2025 de la National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP) transmitió un mensaje contundente: los medios latinos están creciendo, unidos y más influyentes que nunca. Celebrada del 12 al 14 de noviembre en la Universidad de San Diego, la convención anunció casi $2 millones en nuevas subvenciones, fortaleció alianzas interindustriales y estableció la base para oportunidades sin precedentes para los editores hispanos y sus socios mediáticos a nivel nacional.

La NAHP ha experimentado una expansión extraordinaria, con un crecimiento del 71% en membresía desde 2022—representando ahora 771 medios impresos y digitales. Este crecimiento refleja el renovado enfoque de la asociación en empoderar a sus miembros como creadores de contenido latino multiplataforma, y no solo como editores tradicionales.

Colectivamente, los miembros de NAHP ahora alcanzan a 15.4 millones de latinos cada semana—equivalente al 32% de todos los adultos latinos en Estados Unidos. Para marcas y agencias, esto representa una de las redes más grandes, confiables y culturalmente relevantes que sirven a las comunidades latinas.

En un momento en que algunas operaciones de medios latinos se enfocan únicamente en latinos que hablan inglés, NAHP se mantiene firme en llegar a los latinos en el idioma de su preferencia: español y/o inglés.

La convención 2025 destacó el profundo compromiso de NAHP con la creación de coaliciones entre comunidades. Hoy, NAHP colabora estrechamente con organizaciones de medios afroamericanos, asiático-estadounidenses y alternativos, fortaleciendo la defensa conjunta y ampliando oportunidades para socios que buscan un alcance multicultural auténtico.

Gary Acosta, Fundador & CEO, NAHREP

Natalia González, Oficial de Programa, Knight Foundation

Dr. John Warren, Presidente, National Newspaper Publishers Association

Todd Stauffer, Association of Alternative Newsweeklies

Regina Brown Wilson, California Black Media

Julian Do, American Community Media

Matt Pearce, Rebuild Local News

Tina Wu, News Media Alliance

Mago Torres, Google News Initiative

Sus perspectivas colectivas reafirmaron que los medios latinos son esenciales para el futuro del periodismo estadounidense, la confianza comunitaria y la representación equitativa.

Durante los últimos dos años, la Junta de NAHP ha modernizado sus estatutos y operaciones para alinearse con un entorno de publicación digital primero. La recién electa Junta Ejecutiva incluye:

Álvaro Gurdián, La Noticia – Presidente

Evelyn Castro, La Prensa de Houston – Vicepresidenta

Jesús del Toro, La Raza – Vicepresidente de Mercadeo

Héctor Félix Jr., El Informador del Valle – Vicepresidente de Membresía

Ricardo Hurtado, El Sol Latino – Vicepresidente de Ventas

Silvana Diaz, Noticia Long Island – Secretaria

José Zepeda Jr., Aviso Community Media – Tesorero

Para reflejar mejor la evolución de la industria, NAHP también presentó sus nuevos Directores de Sectores de la Industria, quienes representan formatos mediáticos clave:

Anthony Ibarria, El Especial – Director de Periódicos Semanales

Jesús Sánchez, El Comercio de Colorado – Director de Periódicos Menos-que-Semanales

Ghisela Eljach, InSouth Magazine – Directora de Revistas

Bel Hernández, Latin Heat – Directora de Podcasts

Daniel Ajzen, Hispanopolis – Director de Sitios Web

Este liderazgo ampliado garantiza que cada plataforma—desde impresión hasta digital y audio—tenga una voz sólida en el futuro de NAHP.

En 2025, NAHP fortaleció y expandió colaboraciones con instituciones y marcas líderes, incluyendo: Knight Foundation, Google News Initiative, T-Mobile, Wells Fargo, Diageo, Verizon Small Business Digital Ready, California Black Media y Scouting America.

Estas alianzas reflejan un creciente reconocimiento del papel esencial que desempeñan los medios latinos en la participación cívica, el empoderamiento económico y la comunicación culturalmente relevante.

Celebrando la Excelencia: Los Premios José Martí

Los Premios José Martí de este año registraron un aumento del 18% en las postulaciones, con un fuerte crecimiento en las categorías digitales—una muestra de la innovación y evolución en los medios latinos.

Para agencias y marcas, NAHP ofrece acceso directo a medios latinos confiables y arraigados en la comunidad, alcance nacional escalable con autenticidad cultural, alianzas basadas en transparencia, responsabilidad e impacto comunitario.
