Enterate Latino is one of the only Spanish-first original sources for local civic news and information on the Western Slope. Publisher Hector Morales Panaguia is a staff of one — working with local professors, community and civic leaders, and other volunteers to translate and publish a monthly print product. Hector then personally delivers the paper to tiendas, libraries, and other places where immigrants congregate — from Grand Junction to Parachute.

Community News Network Award: $80,000 over three years to support local reporting and production of this monthly newspaper, which is a vital resource for mono-lingual Spanish speakers on the Western Slope.

Community News Network 2022 Update: During the first half of 2023, Enterate Latino has increased both their distribution and their advertising, demonstrating the impact of both team of paid collaborators and writers they are now able to employ, and their web update, which helps drive advertising and engage community response. Like many newsrooms across Colorado, they face challenges with cost and reliability of delivery and printing services.
