Nuestro

Nuestro was the first nationally published, monthly, general-interest magazine, in English, for and about Latinos in the United States. It was a landmark in publishing history in this country. Up until this time only "special interest" magazines for Latinos existed and were printed in Spanish. Latinos were an untapped and highly lucrative market for which census statistics showed that 76 percent of the Latino population was either bilingual or monolingual in English. This is from the New York Times article written by Philip H. Dougherty, Feb. 22, 1977 : "Unlike all the other publications aimed at this market Nuestro will be virtually entirely in English except for a brief Spanish synopsis preceding major features."

History
The first issue was published in April 1977, with a 200,000 print run. It was both a subscription and newsstand publication. The magazine was written in English, with some Spanish information for major features in the magazine. He also marketed the magazine as the first for Latinos in English. Primary offices were in midtown Manhattan. With Lopez as publisher, the editorial department was headed by Editor-in-Chief Charles Rivera, co-managing editors, José M. Ferrer III and Philip Herrera, both of whom were formerly associate editors at Time, Art Director and co-founder, Joan Gramatte; ==References==
