Ignacio E. Lozano Jr., a former publisher of La Opinión, Los Angeles, from 1953 to 1986, died Dec, 27, 2023, in Los Angeles of age-related complications, the Los Angeles Times reported. He was 96.
“La Opinión under Lozano expanded from focusing largely on foreign news to covering local issues important to Latinos that the English-language media either ignored or grossly misinterpreted,” the obituary said.
“Dad understood that our community needed a vehicle that could represent their voice, their interests and also communicate to the broader audience in Los Angeles the incredible contributions that we were making,” said daughter Monica Cecilia Lozano, who later served as head of the newspaper company.
