La Perla del Sur is a weekly regional[3] Spanish-language newspaper based in Ponce, Puerto Rico. It is distributed in nine towns in southern Puerto Rico and has a circulation of 75,000.
History[]
The newspaper was founded in Ponce in 1983 by Juan Nogueras with a crew of six employees. It was first published every other week, had 32 pages and a circulation of 40,000 copies. At first it circulated only in Ponce and Juana Diaz, but a year after its foundation it started circulating also in the towns of Santa Isabel, Coamo, Guayanilla, Peñuelas and Yauco.[4]
In its beginnings the paper was printed by a third party, but starting on 2 February 1993, the paper started publishing at Juno Printing, a wholly owned subsidiary of La Perla del Sur.[5] The paper is known as "El periodico de Ponce y la region Sur de Puerto Rico."[6] It is a weekly newspaper, published on Wednesdays.
Recent events[]
Today (2019) the paper is distributed, free of charge, in the towns of Ponce, Peñuelas, Guayanilla, Yauco, Santa Isabel, Villalba, Juana Diaz, Salinas, and Coamo.[7] The company has approximately 30 employees.[8]
In 2012, it received an award for its coverage of Gasoducto del Norte[9] in the category of investigative reporting[10] specifically for "El tiempo desmiente la Vía Verde" (Time unmasks Via Verde) article series.[11] The presenter of the award, the Puerto Rico Newspaper Association, stated the series was "a well-developed and well-written work. The reporting does away with the myth that regional newspapers are not interested in subjects involving national issues".[12]
