ChicagoMundoHoy.com!

We started this site because Latinos in Chicago and throughout Illinois are a critical part of the political dynamic. We believe that Latinos need a site to see their power and their policies chronicled by a fair and objective and truth-digging and engaged media.

So that’s why we started Chicago Mundo Hoy. But there’s a reason for when we started Chicago Mundo Hoy.

Last week, the Chicago Tribune announced it was shutting down Hoy, the largest Spanish-language site in the area. What’s up with that?

Chicago Mundo Hoy will chronicle the players, power, politics and policies who animate Latin life in Springfield and Chicago. Sometimes in Spanish, sometimes in English. Always with heart, never with fear or favor. We look forward to hearing from you.
