On a weekly basis, it came out every Monday as a leading news magazine weekly in the world of photojournalism, with high-quality photographs related to the news, a fact that earned it great international prestige. The cover, usually starring movie stars and famous people of the time from different fields and the interior advertisements that took up the entire page, were in color. Although the articles were often the same as those in the English language edition, there were variations with the introduction of reports on Latin American countries and on the different Latino communities residing in the United States. The content generally used to consist of a section of letters to the editor by its readers, current affairs in Latin America, technological advances and development, conflicts with communist countries, a section on art, film news, business and business and sports. Sometimes there were sections on early childhood education that were extremely conservative in character and set aside in favor of consumerism as a modern, quality way of life.
