Europa Press
Founded in 1953, Europa Press is one of Spain’s leading private news agencies. Initially established as a book distribution company by five monarchists, it transformed into a full news agency in 1966. The agency broadcasts news 24 hours a day, publishing approximately 3,000 articles per day. Under Antonio Herrero Losada’s leadership (1963-1989), Europa Press survived political pressure and gained prominence by providing the worldwide exclusive on dictator Francisco Franco’s death in 1975. The agency expanded territorially across Spain in the 1990s.
