Dallas Morning News triples distribution of Spanish-language publication Al Dia
Oh goody, now there'll be three times as many people that don't read the thing.
The Dallas Morning News is expanding distribution of its Spanish-language newspaper Al Dia. An additional 80,000 copies will be distributed, which triples the previous circulation of 40,000.
The press release has a bunch of yada-yada about responding to "North Texas' ever-growing Spanish-speaking population and the increased demand for Spanish-language news and information" before getting to the good part: which is that the bump "also provides an avenue for advertisers who want to target the Latino community and Spanish-speaking consumers."

"North Texas' ever-growing Spanish-speaking population" I recall something like this heppening once before. Oh yea, in 1836.

Darn thing showed up on my doorstep today, and I no habla espanol, but since I live in Oak Cliff I must be a Spanish-speaker. More trash to recycle! Idiots.

I'd be happy if this showed up on my doorstep. My birdcages need new liners, and the parrots would enjoy the brightly colored ads!

I live in Plano, TX. I am sorry to see that Dallas Morning News plans to expand the coverage for Al Dia. As far as I am concerned, it is just litter. I have called several times to ask that they not throw litter in my front yard, yet it keeps coming. Also, there are others on the street where I live that never pick up that litter. While I can't control all litter in my neighborhood, I am hope to control this.
This might be a very valuable publication for the Spanish speaking population in the Dallas area (I don't know because I do not read Mexican). If it is, how about distributing it in the paper stands like other free publications.
