Diari de Terrassa

What Diari de Terrassa does

Diari de Terrassa is a Catalan-language local newspaper founded in 1969, published by Edicions Diari de Terrassa S.L., a privately held Spanish limited company headquartered in Terrassa, Catalonia, with approximately 34 employees. The publication serves readers in Terrassa, Matadepera, and the broader Vallès Occidental comarca through a multi-platform digital offering: the main news website (diarideterrassa.com), a PDF e-paper edition via epaper.cat, an email newsletter system (including the "Bon dia Terrassa" morning briefing), and the ConnecTerrassa community platform. Editorial coverage spans local politics, culture, sports, economy, opinion, and community information, organized into vertical sections (Terrassa, Comarca, Matadepera, Opinió, Gent, Diners, Cultura, Esports, Defuncions) and supplemented by six branded modules: DT Aula (education), DT A taula (gastronomy), DT Habitatge (housing), DT Motor (automotive), DT Salut (health), and DT Dossier (in-depth reports).

The business operates on three monetization streams: digital and print advertising sold to local and regional advertisers, recurring digital subscriptions with paywalled premium content, and sponsored content under a "Contingut patrocinat" section. Its go-to-market is community-led, anchored by its position as the only dedicated Catalan-language local newspaper for Terrassa and its affiliation with the Nació Digital network of regional Catalan media outlets that share technology and audience. Technical infrastructure is provided by OA Cloud, audience measurement is certified by ComScore, the publication holds institutional support from the Presidència de la Generalitat de Catalunya, and it is a member of AMIC, the Catalan media industry association.

Customer segmentation is geography-based, targeting Vallès Occidental residents seeking Catalan-language local news. Distribution extends across web, e-paper, email, the ConnecTerrassa community platform, and social channels including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X. No public funding, venture capital, private equity investment, or M&A activity is recorded in the available data.

Direct peers

• Regió7: Catalan-language regional newspaper covering the Osona, Bages, Berguedà, and Cerdanya comarcas in central Catalonia. Comparable in being a Catalan-language, subscription- and advertising-supported regional newspaper operating a similar verticalized content model outside the Nació Digital network.
• Diari de Girona: Regional Catalan-language newspaper covering the Girona province with print and digital editions. Operates the same kind of comarca-focused, subscription- and advertising-funded model as Diari de Terrassa, serving as a direct geographic analog in another Catalan region.
• La Malla: Catalan-language digital media outlet covering local news across Catalonia with sections including the Vallès area. Comparable as a Catalan-language digital news brand with advertising-supported revenue, similar editorial categories, and community engagement features overlapping with ConnecTerrassa's value proposition.
• Tarragona Digital: Digital-native Catalan-language news outlet covering the Tarragona area and a member of the Nació Digital network. Highly comparable in operating model (cooperative digital platform, advertising + subscription revenue, Catalan-language hyperlocal coverage) and directly aligned through shared network infrastructure.
• El 9 Nou: Local newspaper serving the Vallès Oriental comarca in Catalonia — directly adjacent to Diari de Terrassa's Vallès Occidental footprint. Runs a comparable Catalan-language, multi-municipality regional news model with print and digital editions and similar editorial scope.
• Diari de Sabadell: Sister publication within the Nació Digital cooperative covering Sabadell, the other major city in the Vallès Occidental comarca. Operates the same cooperative technology, content-sharing model, and Catalan-language local-news format, making it the single most comparable peer to Diari de Terrassa.
• Segre: Long-established Catalan-language regional newspaper based in Lleida covering the Ponent comarcas. Comparable as a Catalan-language regional daily with digital and print editions, advertising-supported revenue, and similar editorial scope (politics, culture, sports, local business).
• El Món de la Tele: Catalan-language digital media outlet focusing on television, streaming, and entertainment content, part of the Nació Digital network. Comparable as a sister publication sharing the cooperative's technology and audience infrastructure, though operating in an entertainment vertical rather than local news.

Broad incumbents

• El Punt Avui: The largest Catalan-language daily newspaper in Catalonia, formed from the merger of El Punt and Avui. Comparable as a Catalan-language newspaper serving the broader Catalan market with print and digital editions, but operates at much greater scale with regional reach versus Diari de Terrassa's comarca-level focus.
• VilaWeb: Leading Catalan-language digital news outlet covering national Catalan politics and culture. Comparable in language and digital-first distribution, but competes at the national-Catalan level rather than the hyperlocal Terrassa/Vallès level, making it a broader incumbent rather than a direct competitor.
