El Nuevo Día y Primera Hora Go Digital: What It Means for Santurce

Starting September 28, the daily newspapers El Nuevo Día and Primera Hora will exclusively publish in digital formats. This move, part of GFR Media's strategic plan, reflects the evolving preferences of their readers and the increasing reliance on digital platforms in Puerto Rico.

According to the latest PR Digital Trends Study 2026, 58.3% of Puerto Ricans prefer accessing news via primerahora.com. These statistics align with the growing trend of digital consumption, which has seen both publications experience double-digit growth in recent years.

For expats and digital nomads in Santurce, this shift means more content access through smartphones and computers. Free access to Primera Hora’s digital platform, coupled with the continued subscription model for El Nuevo Día, ensures that you can stay informed without breaking the bank. The new digital content, including video podcasts and business insights, will offer a richer multimedia experience, making news consumption more engaging and convenient.
