El Pais, the daily newspaper and website owned by Grupo Prisa, has opened a newsroom in Mexico City, Prisa owned Spanish financial daily Cinco Dias reports. The newsroom will work on the El Pais.com night edition, taking advantage of the time lag between Mexico and Spain, as well as to strengthen the America’s coverage.
Javier Moreno, executive managing Editor of E l Pais, travelled to Mexico City last week and said that this is only the first step of what El Pais intends to do in the Americas in the short, medium and long term.
Spanish newspaper El Mundo also has substantial reach in the Americas (last week we reported that it is moving the Americans news desk from Miami back to Madrid.)
