Today, PALABRA has printed its last edition in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico.

It is a sad decision, but the financial panorama for Mexico and the region is little encouraging.

The contraction of the advertising market, the constant increase in the price of the newsprint and the unstability in the exchange rate were the “molotov cocktails” which forced Grupo Reforma to renounce an effort of more than 11 years in search of PALABRA’s financial self-sufficiency.

Since its birth on November 20, 1997, PALABRA always shared the same editorial and graphics principles as its brothers, Mexico City’s Reforma, El Norte in Monterrey and Mural in Guadalajara.

PALABRA leaves behind independent opinions, reliable analysis, free journalism, as well as numerous SND winning designs, including a World’s Best Designed Award in 2001.

No Alex, a mexican tekno band based in Los Angeles, CA, is promoting their new video For More Years. Migration issues in USA pre election times. 

Cd will be out for sale in a couple of weeks.

As you noticed by some of yesterday’s headlines, reading only one newspaper in the biggest city of the world, will never be enough to be informed.
