Ya (newspaper)

Ya was a Spanish daily newspaper published between 1935 and 1996. Founded in Madrid by Editorial Católica, it initially served as the flagship publication of the Catholic Association of Propagandists (Asociación Católica de Propagandistas, ACdP). During the Francoist era, Ya was a prominent voice of the regime, reflecting its ideology and policies. It was considered one of the most important newspapers in Spain during this period. Following Franco's death and the transition to democracy, Ya struggled to adapt to the changing political and media landscape. Its readership declined, and it faced increasing financial difficulties. Despite efforts to modernize its content and appeal to a broader audience, Ya ceased publication in 1996. Its closure marked a significant moment in the history of Spanish journalism, reflecting the challenges faced by traditional media outlets in a rapidly evolving environment.
