'Presencia' is the only weekly newspaper operating in northeast Puerto Rico, the paper said in a filing dated Nov 8, 2026.[^1]

Its mission page puts the paper's free print distribution at 75,000 copies a week and calls it the only free weekly in the region.[^2][^3] The paper's own anniversary post dates its founding to April 10, 2013 — it marked 13 years on April 10, 2026.[^4][^5]

Presencia publishes that free weekly printed edition and updates readers daily through its website, alongside a web portal and social media channels.[^6][^7][^8]

For readers across the island's northeast, that combination means one thing in practice: a single free weekly print paper, 75,000 copies deep, backed by a daily digital feed.
