Our Story

Made here. Rooted here. Proudly Mexican.

Our family’s known roots in Mexico City reach back more than two centuries. Storytelling, newspapers and local life have been part of that family history across generations. CDMX Magazine carries that tradition forward in a modern form: digital, social, print-minded, multilingual and built for the way people discover a city today.

We are proudly Mexican-owned. Many of us are related by family; others joined the newsroom and became family through years of working, reporting, exploring and creating together. Our writers are not parachuting into Mexico City for a weekend. They know the streets, the seasons, the neighborhoods, the traffic, the traditions, the restaurants, the frustrations, the rhythms and the extraordinary beauty of living here.

That local point of view is the heart of this publication. We want residents to see their city represented with intelligence and pride, and we want visitors to arrive better informed — ready to understand the culture, support the local economy, navigate the city respectfully and experience more than the obvious.

Local Economy, Local People

A city is more than its landmarks.

It is the coffee shop owner opening before sunrise, the chef building a dining room one plate at a time, the market vendor, the hotel team, the designer, the artist, the family business and the new entrepreneur taking a chance on an idea.

We believe local media should help people discover those stories. That means celebrating Mexico City’s world-class restaurants and luxury hospitality while also making space for neighborhood cafés, independent stores, markets, makers and small businesses that give the city its character.

When readers spend locally, recommend locally and understand who is behind a place, the entire city benefits. CDMX Magazine wants to be a bridge between those businesses and the people looking for them.

Our Newsroom

Journalists at heart. Mexico City people in practice.

Our writers bring local memory, professional curiosity and lived experience to the page. We want the work to be useful first — accurate, readable, specific and grounded in the city as it actually is.

Local knowledge

We understand the difference between visiting a neighborhood and knowing how it works.

Practical reporting

Addresses, timing, transportation, seasonal context and the details readers actually need.

Respect for culture

Mexico City is not a backdrop. Its history, communities and traditions deserve context and care.

A modern publishing mindset

Digital publishing, social media, print-minded storytelling, visual production and multilingual access work together.

A City in Many Languages

Welcoming people does not mean watering Mexico City down.

Our multilingual website exists so more people can understand the city — not so the city has to change for them. We want international readers to learn where they are, how things work and why local customs, places and stories matter.

What that looks like in practice

  • Clear transportation and airport guidance.
  • Neighborhood context, not just “top 10” lists.
  • Restaurant, coffee, shopping and nightlife directories people can actually use.
  • Current events, concerts, exhibitions and cultural calendars.
  • Weather and seasonal information for everyday planning.
  • Fashion, beauty, wellness, real estate and lifestyle coverage.
  • Travel itineraries that encourage readers to explore responsibly and support local businesses.
Our Editorial Promise

Useful. Local. Curious. Transparent.

We are building a publication readers can return to because it helps them understand the city — not because it shouts the loudest.

We value accuracy over speed.

Breaking news matters, but so do verification, context and corrections when something changes.

We separate editorial judgment from advertising.

Businesses can work with us, but readers should be able to understand when content is sponsored or promotional.

We use technology to support journalism, not replace local knowledge.

Digital tools can help with research, translation, production and accessibility. Human editorial judgment remains central to the work.

We want to hear from the city.

Great local journalism is a conversation. Tips, corrections, openings, events and story ideas are welcome.

Work With Us

Have a story, an opening, an event or a business people should know?

Tell us. We welcome news tips, community stories, event information, press opportunities, partnerships and advertising inquiries from organizations that want to reach people who care about Mexico City.

We love this city. We are proud of where we come from. And we are grateful you are here.
