Público (Spanish for "Public") was a daily newspaper published between 2007 and 2012, the second-largest Spanish national left-wing paper.
After making financial losses for several years, and facing a €9 million deficit, Público folded its print edition in February 2012. Its parent company Mediapubli said it would continue to publish the website publico.es.[2]
In its lat year, Público was the ninth-largest general-interest newspaper in Spain and the fifth-largest of those headquartered in Madrid.[1]
It was one of only two national left-wing newspapers; Público had been founded in 2007 to cater to a younger audience and harder-left editorial line than the circulation leader, El País.[2]
Público was two-thirds the length of its competitors and its price was less than half. The paper's original press run was 250,000 daily.[3]
The newspaper was initially edited by Ignacio Escolar, who had previously worked in Informativos Telecinco, Localia and La Voz de Almería and his own blog, Escolar.net. On January 13 of 2009, Ignacio Escolar left his position and was substituted by Félix Monteira.[4]
