El Universal is a major Venezuelan newspaper, headquartered in Caracas with an average daily circulation of about 150,000.[dubious ][1] The online version carries news, politics, sports, economy and more.

El Universal was founded in April 1909 in Caracas by the Venezuelan poet Andrés Mata and his friend Andrés Vigas.[1] Its main rival is El Nacional.

It is considered to be conservative and business-oriented,[1] though it has at times both supported and criticized the policies of President Hugo Chávez.

El Universal is part of the Latin American Newspaper Association (Spanish, Periódicos Asociados Latinoamericanos), an organization of 14 leading newspapers in South America.
