El País
El País is a prominent Spanish-language daily newspaper founded in 1976, known for its role in supporting democratic ideals in post-Franco Spain. The publication identifies as progressive and maintains a commitment to independent, fact-based journalism, governed by an internal Style Book and oversight bodies. While it is widely regarded as a leading global Spanish-language outlet, it has historically faced criticism regarding its perceived alignment with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and the potential influence of its parent company, PRISA, on its editorial coverage.
