History
editThe staff at the Los Angeles–based La Opinión developed the supplement. It was first distributed in Los Angeles in the summer of 2000.[3]
In 2004 the Houston Chronicle began carrying La Vibra,[1] as part of an agreement between the Chronicle and La Opinión. The Chronicle produced 25% of the content for the Houston edition of La Vibra while the remainder, distributed nationally, was produced by the staff of La Opinión. As of 2004 the distribution, done in neighborhoods 65% or greater Hispanic/Latino, was 100,000 in the Houston area.[3] La Vibra became a supplement within the Chronicle-owned La Voz de Houston. Publication of La Vibra in Houston ceased in 2009.[4]
As of 2009[update] La Vibra was published in the New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco Bay Area, and Orlando regions.[4]
In 2020, LaVibra.com was launched as a stand-alone digital website.
