Granada Hoy

What Granada Hoy does

Granada Hoy is a regional digital newspaper serving readers in Granada city, Granada province, and the broader Andalusía region of Spain. It is operated by the private limited company Joly Digital, S.L., whose corporate headquarters are at Rioja 13, Entreplanta, 41001 Sevilla, and is part of the Grupo Joly conglomerate that owns a portfolio of regional Andalusian titles including Diario de Sevilla, Diario de Cádiz, Málaga Hoy, Huelva Información, Diario de Almería, Jaén Hoy, El Día Córdoba, Europa Sur, Diario de Jerez, and El Conciso. The publication covers local Granada politics and society, regional Andalusía affairs, Spain and world news, sports (Granada CF football, Covirán Granada basketball), economy, motor, health, environment, technology, culture, and recurring local events such as the Festival Internacional de Música y Danza de Granada and Semana Santa.

The core product is a multi-section news website at granadahoy.com with responsive design for mobile and desktop, supplemented by a PDF interactive edition at pdfinteractivo.es/granada and a paper subscription channel via Club del Suscriptor at granadahoy.clubsuscriptor.es. The technology stack is a standard digital news platform with a content management system; there is no disclosed proprietary technology, app, or API. Distribution is augmented by an unusually broad social and messaging footprint: Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, a dedicated WhatsApp Channel, a Telegram channel (@granadahoy_com), email newsletters, browser push notifications, and cross-promotion across the Joly Digital sister-publication network.

The business model combines three revenue streams: digital advertising (display and sponsored slots, including 'Contenido Patrocinado' and 'Contenido ofrecido por' partner placements), digital subscriptions (recurring PDF interactive and paper subscriptions), and sponsored content. Pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed; free access covers the majority of content while premium features sit behind the subscription paywalls. The target customer segments are local Granada residents, regional Andalusian readers, and tourists/visitors seeking Granada-specific information. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, consistent with a small editorial team operating within the larger shared back-office of the Joly Digital group.
