Hearst, Conde Nast and Time, Inc. are among the few companies that have introduced or reinforced English-language magazines targeting Latinas, padding the pages with lifestyle tips and friendly advertisements.

English-language media conglomerates have set their sights on Latinas, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States. Latinas effectively contribute to the overall wealth of the U.S. economy through their influence, participation in the workforce and brand and media insight.

The bilingual, bicultural Latina market is dynamic and continuously growing, despite the recent economic downturn and historical disparities. Latinas have thrown their financial weight behind media, technology and food production, empowering industries and forcing companies to seek them out through both non-traditional and traditional means, such as magazines.

Despite popular belief, Latina Magazine isn't the sole English-language publication for Latinas; likewise, Time Inc.'s People en Espanol isn't the only Spanish-language publication finding Latinas in the U.S. market.

There are numerous corporations who are best known for their general-market publications that have spawned English-language Latina-oriented magazines to show that they not only understand the nuances of the Hispanic market, but that they understand how to claim a bit of wealth owned by this coveted group.

Cosmo for Latinas

Hearst Corporation, parent to Cosmopolitan, distributes Cosmo for Latinas, which offers tailored sex, beauty, fashion and dating advice. Cosmopolitan for Latinas, which has grown significantly in its short life, is bagged and shipped to those who identify as Latina. It's also poly-bagged and placed alongside certain issues of Cosmopolitan.

Once published biannually, Cosmo for Latinas is now published five times a year and sold independently on newsstands in Hispanic markets, Target, Barnes & Nobles and Wal-Mart. Cosmopolitan's publishers have also made an effort to insert advertising dedicated to Latinas into regular issues.

Glam Belleza Latina

Glamour's younger Latina sister, Glam Belleza Latina is poly-bagged and released quarterly alongside Glamour and sent to self-identifying Latinas. It's also sold on select newsstands. Conde Nast, parent to Glamour and Glam Belleza, distributes 250,000 copies of the special edition publication each time it's released. Glam promises to be the prime beauty destination for Latinas, sharing insights and tips for lifestyle and health.

Woman's Day for Latinas

Hearst Corporation owns Woman's Day, a lifestyle publication that shares recipes, fitness tips and wisdom about sex and relationships. Woman's Day for Latinas is published quarterly, and like some of the other publications, it's released in partnership with the main publication. Approximately 445,000 copies are made available to certain Woman's Day subscribers and offered on select Wal-Mart newsstands.

Hispanic Living

Published biannually by USA Today, Hispanic Living is a magazine that contains articles on family, lifestyle, politics and other issues that are important to U.S. Latinas. It is a premium publication, and it is available for single issue purchase on their website.

Parents Latina

Meredith Parents Network and Meredith Hispanic Media recently announced the upcoming release of Parents Latina, which will reach 700,000 upon its release in April 2015.

"Today, Meredith serves more than six million Hispanic women across our print and digital platforms," said Meredith National Media Group President Tom Harty. "With the launch of Parents Latina, we are putting a new stake in the marketplace. We will leverage the power of Parents -- the most respected brand in the lifestyle category focusing on moms -- along with Meredith Hispanic Media and our 100-million-name database that includes 60 percent of all U.S. millennial women, to provide marketers with a powerful new platform to reach these very desirable consumers."

Meredith Corp. also distributes the Spanish-language titles Espera, Healthy Kids en Español, Primeros 12 Meses, Ser Padres and Siempre Mujer.

Very Latina, very American, and family-oriented, Latinas are being investigated and engaged. Publications make hundreds of millions in ad dollars based on the notion that they can understand the needs and wants of Latinas; expect corporations to continue to work endlessly to tailor and tweak their content and packaging to attract Latinos.
