Prensa Libre: A Family's Lifeline and Business Tool

For Selvin López, a 39-year-old Guatemalan, Prensa Libre has been more than just a newspaper; it's been a source of support and a valuable tool for over five years. Combining digital and print subscriptions has significantly benefited his family, particularly during a challenging period when his 79-year-old father, Oswaldo, suffered a stroke.

López recalls that doctors recommended mental stimulation for his father's recovery. Reactivating the print subscription to Prensa Libre provided Oswaldo with the reading exercise he needed. "The newspaper helped my father when we needed it most because they report truthful news with professionalism," López stated. His father, an avid dog lover, even found their pet, Halley, through the newspaper's classifieds section, where the family also sold various items.

Beyond family support, López leverages Prensa Libre's digital subscription for his own business. He runs a construction and technology services company and uses the text-to-speech feature to listen to news while commuting. He also utilizes the "Plus" content focused on the economy to manage customs and import logistics. Additionally, he tunes into Prensa Libre Radio at 106.5 FM for news analysis.

López emphasizes the journalistic value behind the subscription costs, highlighting the effort and talent involved in delivering impartial and truthful information. He believes this accuracy is crucial for making important national decisions. His father continues to enjoy reading every section of the daily paper, especially sports and the offer inserts, while Selvin stays informed through the digital edition and radio analysis.
