 The paper is the only English-language daily in El Paso (when the El Paso Herald-Post, an afternoon paper, closed in 1997), but often competes with the Spanish-language "El Diario de El Paso," an offshoot of "El Diario de Juárez" which is published across the Rio Grande in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.Because of declining newspaper circulations nationwide, the "El Paso Times "has recently expanded its online capabilities and introduced continuous online updates.Gannett bought the "Times" in 1972.
