McALLEN (October 16, 2009)--La Frontera, an award-winning Spanish-language newspaper that served South Texas, has stopped publication.
Publisher M. Olaf Frandsen said economic conditions forced La Frontera to stop publishing as of Friday.
La Frontera is a sister publication of The Monitor in McAllen, just north of the Texas-Mexico border.
La Frontera, which was founded in July 2004, and The Monitor are both owned by Irvine, Calif.-based Freedom Communications Inc.
The company also owns the Valley Morning Star in Harlingen, The Brownsville Herald and El Nuevo Heraldo in Brownsville, the Mid-Valley Town Crier in Weslaco and Coastal Current and Island Breeze in South Padre Island.
In April, La Frontera won Texas Associated Press Managing Editors awards in features, sports writing and headline writing.

No San Luis you are not Mexican-American there is no such thing. Just like there is no Afican-American. These are bogus terms the media have come up with so they didn't offend anyone. In reality you are either Mexican or you were born in this country or became a legal citizen here and took an oath to this country which makes you American, But I promise you sir you are not both!!!!! Now since you reside in the United States for whatever reason, and English is the offical language of the U.S., learn and use it or move yourself down to Mexico.
ENGLISH I'M MEXICAN- AMERICAN SO IF YOU DONT LIKE IT WHY DONT YOU LIVE WITH IT OR LEAVE
Good riddance! Also like to see some of these espanoly TV stations shut down that been taking over the frequencies. The primary language in this country is ENGLISH. Learn it or leave!
