Shaking Up Journalism in El Paso: Osvaldo Rodriguez Borunda publishes newspaper El Diario in Ciudad Juarez, Mex, and he wants to start newspaper across border in El Paso in challenge to El Paso Times, which was founded in 1881 and bought by Gannett Co in 1972; Gannett says Rodriguez is opportunist, seeking government help in his attempt to expand his private empire; rivalry between Rodriguez and Times has spilled over into news columns; Times has published reports connecting Rodriguez to drug-trafficking organization and to violent threats against his son; Rodriguez has denied allegations and El Diario has run editorials criticizing Times for its coverage; El Diario has published articles and editorials calling attention to what it says is disconnect between largely sanitized, formulaic and Anglo version of El Paso in Times and predominantly Hispanic version on streets; Mack Quintana, publisher of El Paso Times, comments; photo (M)

My botty best at summarizing from Wikipedia: the newspaper was founded in 1881 by Marcellus Washington Carrico . the paper has an approximate daily circulation of 65,000 and 125,000 on Sundays . the paper is the only English-language daily in El Paso . because of declining newspaper circulations nationwide, the paper has recently expanded its online capabilities . Gannett acquired full ownership of the Texas-New Mexico Newspapers Partnership . Zahira Torres became the editor of the paper in 2017, making her the second woman and first Latina to lead the El Paso Times . Borderland: the metro news page has an all-local cover page as well sports: local and national sports, with an emphasis in high-school and UTEP coverage . business: local or national business news . Tiempo: weekly entertainment guide published on Fridays . Hot Ticket: published every Wednesday. El Paso y Más: bi-weekly Spanish news coverage . Cars & Trucks: weekly auto trader guide.
