The most local news coverage in Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta News (PVDN), also known as Vallarta Daily, is an independent, English-language news organization based in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Puerto Vallarta is our home. We live and work in the community we cover, with boots on the ground and local knowledge built over more than 15 years of reporting. Our newsroom is based here, and our local coverage focuses exclusively on Puerto Vallarta.
We serve English-speaking readers who live here, spend part of the year here, visit regularly, or follow the city from abroad. Our work helps readers understand what is happening in Puerto Vallarta and how it affects the community.
We report on the issues shaping daily life in Puerto Vallarta, including local government, public safety, infrastructure, housing, health, the environment, business, education, tourism, and public services.
We also cover national Mexican headlines of interest to expats and English-speaking readers. These include developments in government, politics, immigration, the economy, security, and tourism that help our readers understand the country they call home or visit.
Our national coverage provides broader context while our local reporting remains focused on Puerto Vallarta.
Our reporting starts with two questions: what happened and why it matters.
A water outage, a road project, a government decision, or a change in national policy can have practical consequences for the people who live here. We explain those consequences in clear English, adding context while keeping the facts at the center of the story.
We cover Puerto Vallarta as a community where people live, work, raise families, run businesses, and make decisions about their future. Our journalism reflects that everyday reality, including the challenges and questions that deserve public attention.
Our reporting draws on primary documents, official statements, public records, open data, direct reporting, and Spanish-language source material. We verify facts before publication and present them in clear, accessible English.
Based in Puerto Vallarta, we have a direct connection to the community and an understanding of the local conditions behind the headlines. We combine that experience with careful sourcing and attention to detail.
When a story is developing, we say so. We flag unconfirmed information, update stories as key facts change, and correct errors promptly and transparently.
PVDN is an independent publication. Our newsroom makes editorial decisions free from advertisers, sponsors, tourism boards, political interests, or outside partners.
Advertising and commercial relationships do not determine what we cover or how we report it. Sponsored content, if published, is clearly labeled and kept separate from our news coverage.
Puerto Vallarta News is owned and operated by Gotcha Brands, a Branding and Marketing company based in Miami, Florida, USA. Our newsroom and local reporting are based in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Our work is guided by accuracy, clarity, independence, fairness, and context.
We aim to keep headlines honest, timelines precise, and sourcing clear. We avoid hype, promotional framing, and unnecessary sensationalism. Readers should understand what is known, what remains uncertain, and why a story matters.
