PALO ALTO, Calif., June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Flipboard launched a new U.S. Latino Content Guide: one place to find publications and news sources popular with Latin audiences in the United States. Simultaneously, Flipboard kicked off new publishers partnerships geared towards its millions of Hispanic readers. 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."

Ismael Cala, Doctora Aliza, Chef Pepin, Ariel Coro and more on Flipboard
Additionally, prominent Hispanics have started curating Flipboard magazines that are also featured in the new Content Guide. For instance, CNN en Espanol's Ismael Cala has a magazine titled Cala en Flipboard based on his show and what he is reading, and Doctora Aliza is curating a magazine about living a healthy and happy life called En Cuerpo y Alma. There are also Flipboard magazines curated by technology expert and analyst Ariel Coro, Univision news anchor Leon Krauze, TV Azteca's Alfonso De Anda, Latin Celebrity Chef Pepin and Ana Flores, author of the book "Bilingual Is Better."
