History
''Diario las Américas'' was founded on July 4, 1953. It began as an evening newspaper with circulation from Tuesday to Sunday. Its closing time was noon because the copies were sent by air to different cities in the United States and Latin America where it was distributed to subscribers, government offices and diplomatic headquarters, in the early hours of the morning of the following day. In June 2006, its website was launched on the Internet, for which it partnered with "Hispanic Digital Network" who was in charge of designing and activating it. At the end of 2012, the newspaper was acquired by the Mezerhane Group, whose president is the businessman of Venezuelan origin, Nelson J. Mezerhane G. After the start of this new stage, the Spanish journalist Manuel Aguilera, assumed the editorial direction. Under the management of the Mezerhane group, during the first year of this new stage, ''Diario Las Américas'' underwent a graphic redesign, the first of a total image restructuring that led to the current format, tabloid 11''15 '' that contains 32, 40 to 48 pages, all in color. Since May 2013, its publishing deadline changed, it became a morning edition, with publication seven days a week. At this stage, new reporters and a network of collaborators in Latin America and Europe joined the newsroom. On July 1, 2015, the journalist of Cuban origin Osmín Martínez assumed the direction of the newspaper in front of which he remained until October 2019. As the media began to expand its operations to digital platforms, ''Diario Las Américas'' adjusted the frequency of circulation of its printed copies. First, it had printed editions three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since 2018, as part of the strategic changes adopted, ''Diario Las Américas'' began to circulate every Saturday in a weekly format. Currently, the weekly print edition circulates every Friday at all Miami-Dade and South Broward County outlets. In November 2019, the journalist of Cuban origin Iliana Lavastida was appointed executive director of Diario Las Américas.Management
