When we launched Platea in 2022, our mission was simple: to create a digital plaza with recommendations on things to do and places to go in Puerto Rico.
That mission was tied to a desire to make Puerto Ricans proud to wake up and build a full, exciting and optimistic life on the Island.
Three years of growth, hundreds of messages of gratitude and the support of a community of more than 1 million people have given us the confidence to commit fully to expanding our journalism across our platforms.
📲 A different kind of digital presence
Now, more than ever, having a digital presence is key to sharing timely, relevant, engaging and useful information. We recognize that in Puerto Rico, headlines are an unavoidable flood, and that morbid, sensationalist and mocking angles are the daily fare that feeds the algorithm.
Amid the sea of headlines and content that sometimes breeds fear and confusion, we want to re-emerge on your digital platforms as an option that leaves you informed rather than overwhelmed.
Interest in more optimistic perspectives has come back strong. It is time to bring that into the conversation and reinforce the mission of a new paradigm for our country.
At the end of the day, what information matters to you as you take your next step as a citizen of this country? What kind of story would make a young person feel more confident about their vote in an election? What coverage does the Island need so that new generations can build their futures here, rather than boarding a plane with the promise of progress elsewhere and never coming back? 🇵🇷
These are some of the questions that will guide us through this new chapter for PlateaPR.
As part of the editorial expansion, we will focus on delivering stories with an impartial tone, inviting you to consider other points of view.
Stay informed, get inspired and discover
Each week, we will bring you unique, easy-to-digest coverage to help you make informed decisions.
We will publish daily stories on business, economics, culture, politics, entrepreneurship and more.
Finally, with the support of our readers, we are focused on keeping the momentum going and continuing to expand our digital presence on the Island.
Wherever you are, we want Platea to be there for you, to broaden your thinking and bring you a little wisdom with every edition of our morning Pocillo.
Before we go
We want people to hear about the good. To keep informing and helping build a more optimistic picture of Puerto Rico. That is what Platea is here for. So you can stay informed.
