El Planeta is a Boston-based Spanish language newspaper serving the Hispanic community of New England. It is the largest Spanish-language newspaper in New England. Founded by Javier Marin in 2004 in Brookline as Hispanic News Press (HNP), the company launched El Planeta in May 2005 with 5000 copies in circulation. In September 2005, four editions of the newspaper targeted four different areas in Massachusetts: (Greater Boston, Lawrence, Worcester and Providence). In September 2005 Phoenix Media/Communications Group (PMCG) noticing the growth in the Hispanic market and, seeing this as great opportunity to enter in a different market, acquired a 35% stake of El Planeta, becoming the major stakeholder of the company. In January 2009 El Planeta was finally fully integrated in PMCG and spun-off HNP. Between 2009 and 2012 the newspaper positioned itself as a leading outlet in the Hispanic community increasing its circulation to 50,000 copies. They also maintained and grew events such as "Health and Family", "Powermeter 100", "Best of Boston" and "Latin Taste of Boston". More information...
