Unomásuno (English: One Plus One) is a Mexican tabloid newspaper with daily circulation in Mexico City. It was formed in 1977 by deserters from Mexico City's daily newspaper Excélsior, and became one of the leading leftist newspapers in Mexico during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The newspaper covered investigative topics that were frequently avoided by the rest of the Mexican press of the time, and was a harsh critic of the Mexican government. By the mid-1980s, disagreements over the newspaper's management style led to internal divisions. Those who disagreed with Unomásuno and its future initiatives left and formed La Jornada, another leftist daily in Mexico City, in 1984.
In the late 1980s, Unomásuno was victim of backlash from the Mexican government for its publications that highlighted a growing political opposition faction within Mexico's dominant party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Its founder was threatened with prison for tax evasion, and Unomásuno was forced to pay hefty fines. In 1989, Unomásuno's founder sold the newspaper to a PRI-affiliated businessman. With the new ownership, Unomásuno became a propaganda organ for the PRI and published articles criticizing leftist opposition groups. Its circulation went down drastically over the years, and Unomásuno was resold in 1998, but it continued to experience financial difficulties.
In 2002, two businessmen from the State of Mexico bought Unomásuno for MXN$5 million. The new management promised to help bring the newspaper to its heyday, but Unomásuno's readership continued to decline. Several of its journalists also complained that the owners were forcing its employees to self-censor and avoid writing critical articles about certain politicians. In 2015, Unomásuno was sanctioned by the United States Department of the Treasury under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act. The owner of the newspaper was accused of having ties and providing support to Los Cuinis, a drug trafficking group in Jalisco and allied to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
