Good morning, San Diego.

Tessa Balc, Audience Engagement Producer

Today, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Tiempos de San Diego, our new Spanish-language news offering — delivered daily via WhatsApp. We’ve hired binational journalist Alejandro Maciel to report and connect with readers there.  

Maciel says he is “driven by a commitment to telling the stories that bring this region together and is committed to bilingual journalism that informs, connects and truly serves the community.”

And that’s exactly what Tiempos will be about: informing, connecting and serving Spanish speakers across the region. We’re launching it on WhatsApp to connect with people where they already are. 

You can join the Tiempos de San Diego group to get daily curated news updates and must-know information from around the region by clicking here from your phone or texting 619-964-6029. We hope you’ll share with friends and family. 

Maciel will be sending out today’s message a bit later than he normally will going forward, to allow time for new folks to join.

Check it out and let us know what you think by texting that number or emailing us at tiempos@timesofsandiego.com
