Leading news publications such as CNN en Espanol, FOX News Latino, Huffington Post Latino Voices and CNET en Espanol as well as Esquire Latinoamerica, Milenio, Excelsior, and Variety Latino are working with Flipboard to turn their stories, photos and features into a beautiful and immersive experience. Both launches are part of Flipboard's efforts to create a personal experience for Latinos in the U.S.

"Nearly 15 percent of our Flipboard readers in the United States prefer receiving content in Spanish, and there are many more Hispanics who read Flipboard in English," said Joe Kutchera, Flipboard's head of Hispanic partnerships. "Our curators in Miami, in collaboration with our editorial team in Palo Alto, have put together a custom Latino Content Guide for this vast group of readers."
