      History


      In the past there have been several newspapers under the title of Diario de Pontevedra. A first publication appeared on the streets in June 1879, under the direction of Claudio Cuveiro, although the publication had a short existence; it ceased a few years later, in October. In 1887, a newspaper was once again published under the title Diario de Pontevedra. Originally a publication close to the Liberal Party, during the period of the Second Republic it held ultra-conservative positions and came to align itself with the most right-wing sector of the CEDA. It would continue to be published until 1939, being suspended after the end of the civil war.
      On 15 September 1963, this newspaper was recovered for the city, born under the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce of Pontevedra. Emilio González de Hoz was at the head of the board of directors, with Enrique Paredes as Director. This publication, however, ceased publication in September 1967 due to financial problems.
      On 2 April 1968, the workers of Diario de Pontevedra, in an attempt to make the newspaper economically and commercially viable, set up an industrial production cooperative. This formula was maintained until the Diario was incorporated into El Progreso Communication Group.
      The Diario de Pontevedra, once fully incorporated into the El Progreso group, under the presidency of Blanca García Montenegro, has become one of the fastest growing newspapers in Spain, staffed by a group of young people, highly qualified in journalism as well as in management and marketing.
