Cox sells Mundo Hispanico

Cox Media Group announced the sale of Mundo Hispanico (www.mundohispanico.com) to Mundo Hispano Digital Network (MHDN), a tech-focused media company created to serve the U.S. Latino community.

“We are excited that Mundo Hispanico has found a new home with owners who are committed to continue offering quality news coverage to the growing Latino community in Atlanta and across the country,” said Cox Media Group President Kim Guthrie. “The new owners have deep ties to and demonstrated involvement in the Hispanic community and are a perfect match with our talented and passionate group of Mundo employees.”

Mundo Hispanico launched in 1979 and has served as metro Atlanta’s largest Spanish-language newspaper for nearly four decades. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution purchased Mundo Hispanico in 2004 and rapidly expanded the publication’s digital reach through MundoHispanico.com.

“Mundo Hispanico has long-served as a dynamic and trustworthy news source for the Latino community in Atlanta. That solid foundation, coupled with our mission to strengthen Atlanta’s position as a center for Hispanic media in the country, really solidifies this acquisition. It makes perfect sense for us and we’re excited to get started,” said MHDN CEO Rene Alegria.
