Entity Type: Domestic Non-Chinese Language Media

 El Semanal de La Mancha is a weekly Spanish-language newspaper based in Castilla-La Mancha, a comunidad autónoma (autonomous community) of central Spain comprising the provinces of Toledo, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, and Albacete. It was founded in 2009 by a group of local journalists and media professionals as a self-employment cooperative, following the closure of the regional weekly Canfali, which its founders said left a significant information and advertising gap in the La Mancha region, where at the time no printed newspapers with local coverage existed — only radio and television broadcasters and some provincial dailies published out of the city of Ciudad Real. The paper covers local news across more than a dozen municipalities — including Alcázar de San Juan, Tomelloso, and Campo de Criptana — and includes sections on opinion, politics, sports, agricultural news, and community listings, published in a print edition of 48 to 56 pages distributed at newsstands each Friday. In 2011, the newspaper launched its digital edition to reach younger and broader audiences.

El País is a Spanish-language daily newspaper founded on May 4, 1976, during the country’s transition to democracy following the death of dictator Francisco Franco, whose authoritarian regime had controlled Spain’s press for nearly four decades. Based in Madrid and owned by the Prisa media conglomerate, it was the first major Spanish newspaper to operate independently of Franco’s political influence. The paper covers national and international news, politics, economics, science, culture, and sustainable development across editions in Spain, the Americas, and in English. Prisa Group describes it as “the top-ranking Spanish-language media outlet,” with more than 451,000 subscribers and more than 400 journalists working from newsrooms in Madrid, Barcelona, Mexico, and Washington.

Mundo Global is a Spanish-language digital publication under the Spanish group Cátedra China, a nonprofit organization founded in November 2012 in Madrid by Marcelo Muñoz, a veteran Spanish businessman in China. The publication describes itself as a platform for research, opinion pieces, interviews, and analysis on China and its relationship with the world, with particular emphasis on the bilateral link between Spain and China. Its content is primarily written by Cátedra China members and affiliated experts, covering sections including news, culture, economics, sustainability, and traditional Chinese medicine. It also publishes articles credited to Xinhua, the official state news agency of the People’s Republic of China. The publication distributes a monthly newsletter to subscribers.

Spanish Radio and Television Corporation (Corporacion de Radio y Television Espanola or RTVE) is Spain’s state-owned public broadcasting corporation, established in 1973 through a merger of Radio Nacional de España (RNE) and Televisión Española (TVE), with its current structure established in 2007. RTVE operates five domestic television channels — including the generalist La 1 and La 2, news channel 24 Horas, children’s channel Clan, and sports channel Teledeporte — alongside radio stations and the streaming platform RTVE Play. It also reaches international audiences through TVE Internacional in over 190 countries. 

El Triangle is a Catalan-language weekly newspaper based in Barcelona, founded in January 1990. It describes itself as prioritizing “investigative journalism and analysis.” The weekly newspaper has both a print edition and a bilingual (Catalan and Spanish) website, with an active presence on social media platforms including X and Facebook. The publication displays the logo of the Generalitat de Catalunya’s Department of the Presidency — the Catalan regional government’s executive coordination body — as a supporter. 

El Periódico de España is a daily publication launched on October 12, 2021. It covers politics, economics, international affairs, sports, and entertainment, and was conceived as an alternative to Madrid-centric national dailies, with the willingness to offer a more regionally diverse point of view. The publication features regional editions with local news from across Spain. Initially published in both print and digital formats, the newspaper ceased its print edition on March 28, 2024, and now operates exclusively as a digital outlet.
