La Vanguardia is a newspaper based in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain).
Contents |
La Vanguardia's newspaper history began on the 1st February 1881 when two businessmen from Igualada, Carlos and Bartolomé Godó, first published the paper. It was defined as a Diario de los Políticos de avisos y notícias (Political Newspaper of announcements and news) and was born as a means of communication of a fraction of the Liberal Party who wanted to gain control over the city council.
On the 31st December 1887 was published the last edition directly related to the Political Party and on the next day, 1st January 1888, the first day of the Universal Exposition of Barcelona, it presented a new format with a morning and an afternoon edition which was not directed by any Party.
Its circulation (2005) is around 200 000, the second largest in Catalonia after El Periódico de Catalunya (220 000).
Although the newspaper's articles are only in Spanish, letters submitted in Catalan are treated no differently and run next to the Spanish ones. Another unusual trait for a Spanish-language newspaper is its practice of always referring to Catalonia as Catalunya (the Catalan name) rather than the Spanish Cataluña.
