2024 has been another eventful year for the team at EL CENTRAL Hispanic News! This past year we brought home more recognition for our work in the form of five awards at the annual conference of the National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP). In addition, We’ve expanded our print distribution area across the Detroit Metro Area into the downriver and northern suburbs. 

Plus, we’ve ventured into a new media platform with WDET with the launch of our Spanish radio programming called Voz Latina! Look for our notices in print and on our website for information about online streaming schedules with content in Spanish from our weekly edition and other sources. 

We take pride in bringing our readers the “most original” and “most local” stories for and about the Hispanic/Latino community and residents of Southwest Detroit and the metro area. Our contributors are from the community, so they know our community – which is what differentiates us from our peers. 

Our team took the opportunity to gather last week for a holiday dinner at Armando’s Mexican Restaurant where we enjoyed each other’s stories as well as savory Caribbean dishes prepared by the staff at Armando’s! And everyone walked away with a new appreciation for the diversity and wealth of experience that our team brings to our work in sharing with our readers and followers trusted information and features each week.

The roster of EL CENTRAL team members and writers who contributed stories about our community this past year appears below. We all hope you continue to enjoy and benefit from the information we have shared with you. It is our commitment to bring even more local stories and resources to you in 2025. 

Best wishes for a very blessed holiday season and a prosperous new year!

Le deseamos a usted y su familia una Feliz Navidad y un próspero Año Nuevo

¡De parte de EL CENTRAL Hispanic News!

¡El 2024 ha sido otro año lleno de muchos acontecimientos para el equipo de EL CENTRAL Hispanic News! Este año hemos traído a casa más reconocimiento por nuestro trabajo, con cinco premios en la conferencia anual de la Asociación Nacional de Publicaciones Hispanas (NAHP), además, hemos ampliado nuestra área de distribución impresa en el área metropolitana de Detroit hasta los suburbios del norte y al sur de downriver.

Además, nos hemos aventurado en una nueva plataforma de medios con WDET con el lanzamiento de nuestra programación de radio en español llamada Voz Latina. Busque nuestros avisos impresos y en nuestro sitio web para obtener información sobre los horarios de transmisión en línea con contenido en español de nuestra edición semanal.

Nos enorgullecemos de brindarles a nuestros lectores las historias “más originales” y “más locales” para y sobre la comunidad hispana/latina y los residentes del suroeste de Detroit y el área metropolitana. Nuestros colaboradores son de la comunidad, por lo que la conocen, que es lo que nos diferencia de nuestros pares. Nuestro equipo aprovechó la oportunidad de reunirse la semana pasada para una cena navideña en el restaurante mexicano Armando’s, donde disfrutamos de las historias de los demás y de los sabrosos platos caribeños preparados por el personal de Armando’s. Y todos nos fuimos con una nueva apreciación por la diversidad y la riqueza de la experiencia que nuestro equipo aporta a nuestro trabajo al compartir con nuestros lectores y seguidores información y artículos confiables cada semana.

A continuación, se muestra la lista de los miembros del equipo de EL CENTRAL y los escritores que contribuyeron con historias sobre nuestra comunidad el año pasado. Todos esperamos que continúe disfrutando y beneficiándose de la información que hemos compartido con usted. Es nuestro compromiso brindarle aún más historias y recursos locales en 2025.

¡Le deseamos una temporada navideña muy bendecida y un próspero año nuevo!
