La Frontera (newspaper)

La Frontera was a Spanish-language newspaper serving southern Texas, United States. It was a sister publication of The Monitor, a newspaper headquartered in McAllen, Texas that is owned by Freedom Communications. As of 2009, M. Olaf Frandsen was the editor.[1]

La Frontera was founded in July 2004. In April 2009, the paper won several Texas Associated Press Managing Editors awards; the categories that the newspaper gained awards in were features, headline writing, and sports writing. In 2009 the newspaper ceased operations. The Monitor said that it was due to a poor economy and insufficient advertising revenues. On Sunday October 18, 2009 the El Nuevo Heraldo was to be delivered to previous La Frontera subscribers.[1][2]
