Historical Note

La Opinión is the largest Spanish-language newspaper in the United States and the second most read newspaper in Los Angeles. The paper was established in 1926. Ignacio Lozano Sr. (1886-1953)—who migrated from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas during the Mexican Revolution—first established La Prensa in 1913. After seeing the large readership that existed in California, he established La Opinión in Los Angeles, thus also moving the family to the West Coast. La Opinion has been run by three generations of Lozanos. After Ignacio Sr. passed away, his son Ignacio Jr. took over La Opinión in 1953. Three of his children have helped run the paper: Leticia, his eldest, worked there from 1976-1984; Jose Ignacio was co-publisher with Leticia from 1976-1986, and then from 1986-2004 served as publisher and CEO; and currently, since 2004, Monica Lozano is the publisher and CEO of La Opinión, who out of her many contributions and services to the Latino community includes her role as appointee to the Board of Regents of the University of California (2001-2013, 2014-2022).

Scope and Content

La Opinión documents local, national, and worldwide events from a perspective outside the dominant US narrative. It is currently compromises 147 linear feet of albums, compact discs, reader correspondence, film, internal files, negatives, newspaper articles and clippings, photographs, scrapbooks, and slides. The materials relate to a wide range of topics including community life, entertainment, politics, special events, and sports. Moreover, it documents the photojournalism the La Opinion staff was dedicated to recording for the Latino community. Materials range from 1982-2014.

Provenance
