Over its long history, the newspaper has navigated periods of political instability, censorship, and economic hardship.

Like many newspapers worldwide, El Impulso has adapted to the changing media landscape by developing an online presence, offering news and information through its website and social media channels. Despite the challenges facing the Venezuelan media industry, El Impulso continues to operate as an independent voice, striving to uphold its long-standing tradition of journalistic excellence. The newspaper's current circulation figures are difficult to verify independently due to the economic and political situation in Venezuela.
