Newspaper changes name, format
Posted by Uma Dixit on April 1, 2009 at 6:06 AM
Media General Inc.'s Spanish publication Centro Mi Diario has changed its name to Centro Tampa to stand out among similar publications in other markets, the Tampa Bay Business Journal reported. The paper will also switch to a tabloid format April 10 to cut costs.
The changes "will make us more efficient and more relevant," Orlando Nieves, general manager of Centro Grupo de Comunicacion, said in a statement. The newspaper serves Hillsborough County in Florida, where 50 percent of the region's Hispanic population lives. The paper has a circulation of 41,000 in Hillsborough.
In other news, Media General's Florida Communications Group announced Monday it will cut 65 jobs from its operations in Tampa Bay, and will also require all employees to take an additional three day furlough in addition to the 10 instated previously this year.
