...police knew was that the murderer had appeared to be a young Puerto Rican. They had no other clues to the man who stabbed Arthur Collins in the New York subway last October and sprinted away. Even so, a reporter from Manhattan's Spanish-language newspaper El Diario soon picked up the suspect's trail. Following a telephone tip, Esli Gonzalez, 34, went from bar to bar in The Bronx. Finally he found the fugitive, but the man got away again. Next night, Gonzalez tracked the man down for the second time and persuaded him to give himself...
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...
Praqmatic Swiss. There are indications that the U.S. TV exports are in for increasing challenge. The Portuguese network, which imports more than 75% of its fare from the U.S., is currently under fire from the semiofficial, daily Diario da Manha for "de-Portugalizing" the nation's youth. Ottawa requires a minimum 55% "Canadian content." Britain restricts the imports to a mere 14% of viewing time, and just this season blew the whistle on the commercial channels for bunching that percentage into the prime viewing hours-even so, five of London's top ten are still U.S. imports including...
...considerable accomplishment. In the 31 years since he graduated from New York University Law School, London-born Roy Chalk has built up a tidy real estate and transportation empire. This week he launches a publishing chain. Last March Chalk paid $850,000 for an 80% interest in El Diario de Nueva York (circ. 68,000), the largest Spanish newspaper in a city that now has 650,000 Puerto Rican inhabitants. This week he takes over the city's only other Spanish daily, La Prensa (circ. 33,000). To house them he is set to buy the Lower Manhattan building...
