EDITORIAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been seven years since my brother decided to take a chance at starting his own business, something that he quickly realized was more of a service than a business.\u00a0 I still remember him coming up to me and asking about his idea.
\n\u201cWhat do you think of the name Hola America?\u201d<\/p>

I thought sounded friendly and I remembering saying that it\u2019s like the paper is saying \u201cHola\u201d (Hello) to the individual about to pick it up.
\nWell, hello and most importantly, thank you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to pick it up and reading through our pages.\u00a0 I personally was not too sure about this idea back then, but now I have come to realize how important this publication is to some people.\u00a0 The Latino community has depended on our publication for many things that some local media would not even cover or know about.\u00a0 Just last week we promoted and covered the Mexican Consulate visit to Silvis that assisted many Mexican immigrants get documents they needed. We promoted and covered the May 1st marches last year that united the community in the face of unjust political agendas.\u00a0 We have talked to presidential candidates and asked them about the issues that matter to you the reader.\u00a0 We have covered national and local elections.\u00a0\u00a0 Hola America has also given the entertainment that our readers are looking for, like our interview with singer Jenny Rivera.\u00a0 We cater to the wide spectrum of Latinos in our community.\u00a0 We are a true reflection of the local Latino community.<\/p>\n

Our mission statement:\u00a0 \u201cHola America English\/Spanish Newspaper will always do its best to properly reflect the Latino community fairly and with dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is something that we genuinely believe in.\u00a0 This is all done from the perspective of Latinos, and that is very important for a number of reasons that are too long to list.
\nAnd while the Latino community has grown, we have mirrored that growth and today we reach many more communities in western Ill. and eastern Iowa than before.<\/p>

To all of the people who look for the new issue every couple weeks, to the contributors, to those who visit our website, to those who took the time to write to us, and to our clients who make this free publication and service possible, Hola America as a newspaper, service, and family says THANK YOU for the last seven years.<\/p>\n
