Monica Cecilia Lozano (born 21 July 1956, Los Angeles) is an American newspaper editor, the publisher and Chief Executive Officer of La Opinión and CEO of its parent company, ImpreMedia, LLC. Based in Los Angeles, La Opinión is the largest Spanish publication in the United States. She is a member of President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. She was appointed by the California State Legislature to join Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Commission on the 21st Century Economy.
Lozano is one of four children of first generation Mexican-Americans, Ignacio E. Lozano, Jr. and his Arizona-born wife, Marta Navarro. Her paternal grandfather, Ignacio E. Lozano, Sr., a famous Mexican journalist was born on the border of Mexico and Texas. He went to San Antonio, where Lozano's father was born, and in 1913 founded La Prensa, which became the largest, if not the first, Spanish daily publication in the United States.La Prensa sold copies in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In 1926, with much help from his wife, Lozano's grandfather founded La Opinión in Los Angeles, where La Prensa had had a particularly large following.
Lozano's father studied journalism at Notre Dame University and, in 1953, took over La Opinión after the death of her grandfather. Meanwhile, her grandmother, Alicia Elizondo de Lozano, returned to Texas to keep La Prensa in business.
Lozano was raised with her siblings in Newport Beach, Orange County, California. Although Marta Lozano had studied literature for about three years at UCLA before marriage, she was a stay-at-home mom to Lozano and her siblings, while their father commuted to L.A. to work on the paper. In 1976, Ignacio E. Lozano, Jr. was appointed US Ambassador to El Salvador by President Gerald Ford.
