Público is a Spanish online newspaper. It was published as a print daily newspaper between 2007 and 2012. The print version folded but the newspaper continues online.
History and profile
Público was established in September 2007.[2] [3] The founder is Jaume Roures, head of Mediapro.[2] One of only two national left-wing papers (the other being elDiario.es),[4] the paper had a harder-left editorial line than El País. Público also aimed at a younger readership.[5] The paper was two-thirds the length of its competitors and its price, initially only 50 cents, was less than half. The paper's original press run was 250,000 daily.[6]
After several years of financial losses, and facing a €9 million deficit, Público folded its print edition in February 2012.[5] In its last year, the paper was the ninth-largest general-interest newspaper in Spain and the fifth-largest of those headquartered in Madrid.[7]
The parent company Mediapro[8] undertook to continue to publish the website publico.es,[9] which as of 2014 was still active as an online newspaper.[1] [10]
Público and CTXT, a Spanish independent online publication, began a collaborative editorial agreement in June 2016.
