La Buena Esperanza ([la ˈbweːna espeˈrantsa], Ladino: The Good Hope) was a Ladino language weekly newspaper which was published in Smyrna, Ottoman Empire, in the period 1871–1912, being the longest-run Ladino newspaper in the city.[1]
La Buena Esperanza was launched in Smyrna in 1871.[2] The founder and editor of the paper which was published on a weekly basis was Aron de Yosef Hazan.[2][3] He was an Italian-origin Jewish who was working as a teacher at the Alliance Israélite Universelle school in Smyrna.[4] He closed down La Buena Esperanza in 1912 when he had to leave the city because of the invasion of Tripoli by the Italian Empire.[4]
