Founded in February 1976, Diario de Juárez has grown from a 1,000-copy per day newspaper in Ciudad Juárez to now over 100,000 copies daily in Cd. Juárez, in the city of
Chihuahua and throughout the
state of Chihuahua. Today,
El Diario is the fourth largest newspaper in
Mexico. In 1985 Diario de Chihuahua was established, and a modern five-story office building was constructed. In 1999 the newspapers changed the name and banner from Diario de Juarez and Diario de Chihuahua to El Diario to better serve the readers in the State of Chihuahua and in El Paso. Also in 1999, a new press facility was completed in Chihuahua with the latest and most modern newspaper production equipment. Today, the Chihuahua edition of El Diario publishes daily editions for the central communities of
Delicias,
Cuauhtemoc and
Parral. In 2000 El Diario began publishing a weekly Mexico section, which covers the news of Mexico, somewhat like
USA Today does for the US. The Juárez edition of El Diario, which publishes a daily edition for
Nuevo Casas Grandes, also produces an El Paso edition of El Diario on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On May 29, 2001, Editora Paso del Norte, Inc. purchased the historic 7-story
