Owned byPublished by the Winston-Salem nonprofit Acción Hispana (Acción Hispana–Qué Pasa, established 2002). Qué Pasa Media Network was earlier a privately held company operated under Latino Communications, LLC. Public sources I found do not clearly document when or how the transfer to the nonprofit happened.
FundingFree to readers. Revenue comes from advertising plus grants. Acción Hispana has reported grant support from the City of Winston-Salem (including ARPA grants), Forsyth County and the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services.

Background

Qué Pasa began publishing in North Carolina in 1994 as a free weekly Spanish-language newspaper. It grew into a multi-city operation with editions in Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham and Greensboro/Winston-Salem, plus Spanish-language AM radio stations. It was run as a privately held company, Qué Pasa Media Network, headquartered in Winston-Salem. In 2006 it announced a joint venture with Capitol Broadcasting Company to serve the state's Hispanic market. The brand is now tied to Acción Hispana, a nonprofit whose stated mission is to inform and educate the state's Hispanic and Latino immigrant community on social, economic and political issues through objective, local journalism. It operates a weekly print paper, daily web content and social media, and lists Jose Isasi as publisher and Karina Neyra as editor. Its funding mix of advertising and government grants shapes a service-oriented, community-focused editorial approach rather than opinion or partisan commentary. This profile is based on limited sources, and I could not verify a detailed record of controversies or of its recent coverage of the second Trump administration.
