By: E&P Staff The Houston Chronicle has acquired the weekly Spanish-language paper La Voz.
Jack Sweeney, the Chronicle's publisher and president, and Olga Ord??ez, publisher of La Voz de Houston, announced the sale to their staffs Thursday.
Ord??ez and her 13-member staff will remain at the paper, which she and her husband, Armando, began in 1979. Ord??ez will continue in her role as publisher and will report to Sweeney.
"We're delighted that Olga has agreed to sell the paper to the Houston Chronicle and will be staying on to teach us even more about providing news and information to the Spanish-speaking community," Sweeney said in a statement.
La Voz and the Houston Chronicle have worked together for 13 years, with the Chronicle printing and distributing La Voz, sharing some stories, and selling ads into the weekly. With the new arrangement, La Voz will gain editorial and advertising sales support from the Chronicle.
La Voz has a circulation of 100,000 and covers news, sports, food, and entertainment. It will join La Vibra, a weekly entertainment tabloid, as one of the Chronicle's Spanish-language products.
