La Voz de Galicia (English: The Voice of Galicia) is a Spanish daily newspaper owned by the Corporación Voz de Galicia. La Voz is highest circulation newspaper in Galicia and the eighth-highest circulation general-interest daily newspaper in Spain. It is written primarily in Spanish with Galician used in the cultural and opinion sections.
The newspaper was founded in 1882 by Juan Fernández Latorre and is published in A Coruña, Galicia.
The paper has a digital version available in Spanish and Galician, however the Galician version is an automatic translation, the original articles are written exclusively in Spanish.
Juan Fernández Latorre founded La Voz de Galicia in 1882 as a republican, progressive and open-minded newspaper. Consolidated in the republican era with a circulation of more than 20.000 daily copies, it was not until the 1960s, when Santiago Rey Fernandez-Latorre, the founder’s grandson took over as manager, that La Voz began its expansion. Under the management of who today is the newspaper’s editor and president of the Corporación Voz de Galicia, the Galician head conquered its greatest challenges: it underwent a complete technical updating renovation, it surpassed the 100.000 copy circulation barrier, it became the 6th leading Spanish newspaper in circulation ranking, it created a system of editions that covers all of Galicia and inaugurated in 1992 an intelligent building which houses the printing plant in Sabon which today is the group’s main headquarters.
In line with this, in the mid 1980s the company went multimedia and acquired eight radio stations, the editorial Biblioteca Gallega (contemporary with the foundation of newspaper), the Galician Yearbook, Voz Noticias, a graphic arts division (Galicia Editoral, S.A.) and a production studio called Voz Audiovisual, one of the first production companies in the country. In the early 1990s, the Instituto Sociolóxico Galegos (Sondaxe) started its activities and Radio Voz began to broadcast. In 1997 the Fundacion Santiago Rey Fernández-Latorre WAs established as a means of ensuring the continuity of the ownership and the editorial line of La Voz de Galicia and its corporation. One year later, Juan Carlos I, King of Spain, inaugurated the museum of the press and graphic arts built in the headquarters of La Voz, whose list of titles gathered close to 5.000 copies of different newspapers and magazines and 38 types of printing machines.
In May 2010, La Voz launched its Digital Terrestrial Television project: V Televisión. The Fundación Santiago Rey Fernández-Latorre manages, besides the museum, the programs of Voz Natura and Prensa-Escuela which, on one side tries to involve the education community in the recovery and defense of natural environment, and on the other, encourages the use of the newspaper as an educational tool which contributes to build critical awareness among schoolchildren; Master in Journal Edition (MEP), Master in Audiovisual Production and Management (MPXA) and the Post grad course on International Commerce of Audiovisual Contents (CICA).
