El Diario de Madrid

What El Diario de Madrid does

El Diario de Madrid is a digital-first local news publication operating from Madrid, Spain, covering news, politics, culture, economy, society, sports, and municipal affairs across the Community of Madrid region. The platform is accessible primarily through its website at eldiariodemadrid.es, complemented by RSS feeds and a dedicated mobile application, with content distributed across Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, a WhatsApp Channel, and Google Discover. The current operating entity was established in 2023 and explicitly invokes a heritage lineage to the original Diario de Madrid, first published on January 1, 1788.

The underlying technology is a digital newspaper stack built on the Opennemas.com content management system, which handles publishing, syndication, and site infrastructure. Editorial coverage is organized into structured verticals including Madrid city, Community municipalities (Pozuelo, Las Rozas, Alcobendas, Fuenlabrada, Móstoles, Alcalá de Henares, Leganés, Getafe, Alcorcón, Torrejón de Ardoz), universities, technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, economy, and culture. The publication holds no disclosed patents or proprietary technology, and audience metrics are verified by OJD interactive rather than self-reported. Industry credibility is supported by membership in CLABE and participation in the Journalism Trust Initiative.

The business model is advertising-supported: revenue is generated through the sale of digital advertising inventory, including display banners and sponsored content placements, with no public subscription, paywall, or pricing model disclosed. Commercial inquiries route to [email protected]. The go-to-market motion is product-led growth driven by organic digital distribution and SEO, with a stated focus on Madrid-region residents and local businesses. Headcount is 9 employees, no parent company or external funding rounds are disclosed, and the entity is privately held.
