El Vocero
El Vocero de Puerto Rico is a Puerto Rican free newspaper that is published in San Juan. Published since 1974, "El Vocero" was at first the third of the four largest Puerto Rico newspapers, trailing "El Mundo" and "El Nuevo Día" and leading "El Reportero" and "The San Juan Star" in sales. With the temporary demise in the late 1980s of "El Mundo", "El Vocero" became even more popular, becoming the island's largest newspaper by 1994. From 1985 to 2013 it was owned by Caribbean International News Corp. The owners of Caribbean International News Corp, and therefore owners of "El Vocero", were Elliot Stein, I. Martin Pompadur and The Henry Crown Co.

In the beginning, "El Vocero" was known as a sensationalist tabloid that dramatized all the violent news. Writers included Tomas De Jesus Mangual and others. However, in the early 2000s, the newspaper changed its direction, becoming a mainstream newspaper, adding a much broader coverage of entertainment as well as business related news, and carrying more political news, as in the situation in Vieques.

In addition to its regular news section, "El Vocero" also has business, entertainment, sports, and travel sections.

On April 8, 2007, Gaspar Roca, the paper's founding publisher and editor in chief died due to respiratory arrest. He was replaced by his son Miguel Roca. As of January 2011 Miguel Roca was no longer working at the newspaper, and was replaced by a San Juan-based construction lawyer named Peter Miller. Due to financial difficulties, in December 2013 "El Vocero" went bankrupt (Chapter 7). The new owner and publisher is Publi-Inversiones, formed by a group of local entrepreneurs.
