• Anuncio del editor de HispanicLA

    A fines de junio 2011 hice pública mi partida de La Opinión donde he sido desde 1999 y hasta hoy uno de los editores de noticias.
    Mi próxima estación es AOL/Huffington Post, donde a partir del martes 5 de julio me he incorporado como jefe de noticias de AOL Latino / HuffPost Latino Voices. En la actualidad - abril de 2013 - soy Director Editorial de Huffington Post Voces y encargado de su sección de noticias.
    Es algo que me llena de satisfacción y esperanzas de ser relevante.
    Pero este texto es sobre HispanicLA, el sitio de internet que fundé en 2009.
    HispanicLA deja de publicar nuevo material.
    ¿Qué significa ésto para el lector y para los escritores?
    Es así: desde enero de 2009, HispanicLA ha emergido como una voz seria de actualidad, comentario y opiniones.

    El grupo de colaboradores y columnistas es, de muy lejos, lo mejor que tiene HispanicLA. La contribución de este grupo no puede perderse, y no se perderá. Al contrario: crece.
    Muchos de ellos, se están incorporando a las columnas de opinión de uno de los sitios más leídos en el mundo hispano: Huffington Post Voces. Se han ganado el respeto y el aprecio por la calidad de sus textos y la fortaleza de sus argumentos.

A Path with Heart: A Real Treasure

For children and students, libraries complement their education. For adults, libraries are an opportunity for life-long learning. I know that California is in financial trouble, but for many people public libraries are the only path to self improvement.

A Path with Heart: Not One Crooked Tooth

The men stopped the car about five kilometers from the highway. They told my friend that they would forgive him for trying to run away. They stole his new truck, his cell phone, his documents and they took 2,000 pesos (160-165 dollars) that my friend had in his wallet. Then, believe or not, the robbers gave the doctor 500 pesos (40 dollars) so he could catch a bus home.

A Path with Heart: A Great Daughter

In Mexico, nursing homes are humble and frugal dwellings. Only the poor and childless live in them. In Mexico, most families take care of their elders until they die. Placing a parent in a senior home is almost unheard of.
