Once more, El Diario had made the news as well as reported it. It splashed the story on its front page-as did most of the New York press. El Diario lets very little news of the city's 730,000-member Puerto Rican community escape its attention; in turn, it is read loyally by the city's Puerto Ricans. In the past 31 years, its circulation has spurted 25% to 75,850, and its profits have doubled...
Sadism & Social News. A tabloid that almost always runs a picture of some battered, bruised or bloodied Puerto Rican on its front page, as well as several sex-and-sadism stories inside, El Diario also carries social news from New York and San Juan. It runs Drew Pearson and Victor Riesel, translated into Spanish, and U.P.I, and A.P. copy on Latin America, along with several columns of chitchat entitled "Chispa-zos" (Sparks), "Machetazos" (Machete Blows) and "Consultorio Sentimental" (Advice to the Lovelorn). Its uncompromising editorials, written in both English and Spanish, champion causes dear to its readers: a civilian review...

Chalk is now beginning to get some competition from a second Spanish-language tabloid, El Tiempo, which changed from a weekly to a daily last October. Edited by Stanley Ross, 52, a controversial Latin American hand who put out El Diario from 1955 until 1963 when he broke with Chalk, El Tiempo carries more news about Latin America than El Diario and less about New York. It is aimed at New York's non-Puerto Rican Latin Americans-Cubans, Dominicans, Colombians-who are currently streaming into the city, while the Puerto Rican migration has slowed to a bare trickle...
