Spanish daily newspaper El Pais (The Country)
El País (English: The Country) is a Spanish newspaper written entirely in Spanish, which with an average of 391,815 copies sold each day, is the widest selling non-sports paper in Spain, according to the Spanish Circulation Audit Office (Oficina de Justificación de la Difusión, OJD). Its headquarters and central editorial staff are located in Madrid, although there are local offices in the main Spanish towns (Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela) from which local regional editions are produced. El País also has a world edition that is printed and distributed in Latin America. El País is often referred to as a newspaper of record from Spain, along with its fellow Madrid morning dailies El Mundo and ABC. On September 26, 2007 the paper published the Bush-Aznar memo, a leaked transcript of a closed-door meeting between presidents Bush and Aznar shortly before the invasion of Iraq. The paper is owned by the large Spanish media group PRISA, which also owns, amongst others, the Cadena SER (radio station), Cinco Días (financial paper), Editorial Santillana (educational publisher), Editorial Alfaguara (book publisher), Diario AS (sports paper), Los 40 Principales (mainstream music radio station), Máxima FM (EDM radio station), M80 Radio (radio station broadcasting golden oldies), Radiolé (radio station broadcasting traditional Spanish music), Cadena Dial (radio station broadcasting Spanish language pop music) and television channels Sogecable (pay TV), Localia, Digital+ (sports, cable). Opinion polls cited in El País are all carried out by a separate company called Instituto OPINA.
