Atlanta’s MundoHispánico gets make-over.

A redesign of MundoHispánico makes the newspaper more attractive and easier to read. The new look for the newspaper includes a new logo and a fresh contemporary design as well as a format to encourage readers to spend more time with the paper.

MundoHispánico Publisher Lino Dominguez called the redesign, “The latest in a series of moves to expand and improve our publication to meet the needs of the rapidly growing market.” Atlanta’s Hispanic population exceeded 500,000 in 2005 and is expected to grow by another 31.5 percent by 2010.

Three weeks prior to the redesign, MundoHispánico launched a second weekly that serves as a “how to” guide for new Hispanic residents of metro Atlanta. Pasos: Para vivir major or Steps to a Better Life is a tabloid publication with a freely weekly distribution of 35,000. Pasos publishes each Monday and features short stories and color photographs to illustrate the steps readers can take to accomplish their goals. MundoHispánico is distributed on Thursday with a circulation of 75,000, including a 7,000-copy zoned edition in suburban Hall and Clarke counties.

Acquired by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2004, MundoHispánico recently moved into new offices in suburban Atlanta.
