Nuestro was the first nationally published, monthly, general-interest magazine, in
Nuestro means "Ours" in Spanish.[1] It was conceived by Daniel Lopez, 36, a businessman. In 1972 he started a company (corporation) in Washington called Nuestro Grafico Inc., with $650 in seed money ($500 of which came from Joan Gramatte, co-owner and art director, and $150 came from Lopez).
History
The first issue was published in April 1977, with a 200,000 print run.[2] It was both a subscription and newsstand publication. The magazine was written in English, with some Spanish information for major features in the magazine.[1] Lopez chose to print in English instead of Spanish because he felt that younger Latinos speak English more often.[3] He also marketed the magazine as the first for Latinos in English.[4] Primary offices were in midtown Manhattan.
With Lopez as publisher, the editorial department was headed by Editor-in-Chief Charles Rivera, co-managing editors, José M. Ferrer III[5] and Philip Herrera, both of whom were formerly associate editors at Time, Art Director and co-founder, Joan Gramatte;[3] along with Senior Editor, Dolores Prida.[6][7]
