History

Established in 1979.

Eastern Group Publications was founded in 1979 by the husband and wife team Jonathan and Dolores Sanchez, but its roots were planted in the community long before that. In 1945, Joseph Kovner founded the Eastside Sun which became the main source of news for east L. A’s communities. The Sanchez’s bought the chain when it was on the brink of bankruptcy.
