Público (Spanish for Public) is a Spanish daily national newspaper launched on September 26, 2007. It is owned by the media group Mediapro and edited by Ignacio Escolar, who has previously worked in Informativos Tele 5, Localia and La Voz de Almería and his own blog, Escolar.net.

Escolar and Mediapro founded the paper as an alternative to Spain's best-selling newspaper center-left newspaper, El País, and as the country's first national newspaper geared toward youth. Público is two-thirds the length of its competitors and its price is less than half. The paper's original press run was 250,000 daily.[1]
