Hoy is a Spanish-language daily newspaper published in Badajoz, Spain. It is along El Periódico Extremadura one of the two major newspapers in the autonomous community of Extremadura.[1] Originally a venture of Editorial Católica,[2] it is currently part of the Vocento Group.[3]

History

It was founded in 1933 by Editorial Católica (EDICA),[4][5] and it came to replace the Correo Extremeño.[6] According to a review published in the same newspaper it was "created to fight against Socialism".[7] Its first editor was Santiago Lozano,[8] coming from the School of Journalism of El Debate. For the rest of the Second Republic the newspaper stuck to editorial policy close to the CEDA.[6] During the Francoist dictatorship the newspaper remained under the control of EDICA.

Hoy was purchased in 1988 by the Correo Group,[9] merged in 2001 with Prensa Española to form Vocento.
