El Diario Vasco (English: The Basque Daily) is a Spanish morning daily newspaper based in San Sebastián, Basque Country.
History and profile
El Diario Vasco was founded in 1934 by the Sociedad Vascongada de Publicaciones, led by conservative writers such as Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena or Ramiro de Maeztu. The paper has its headquarters in San Sebastián.{{cite book|author1=Christopher Ross|author2=Bill Richardson|author3=Begoña Sangrador-Vegas|title=Contemporary Spain|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YWbYAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA290|access-date=21 February 2015|date=28 October 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-4441-1699-1|page=290}}
Following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, El Diario Vasco supported the Nationalist faction and was closed by the Republican government for two months until San Sebastián was conquered by the Nationalists. In 1945 the paper was bought by the Falange-controlled holders of El Correo Español, which then changed its name from El Pueblo Vasco SA to Bilbao Editorial SA.
El Diario Vasco is currently owned by Grupo Vocento which also owns ABC, El Correo and Las Provincias, among the others.{{cite web|author=David Ward|title=A Mapping Study of Media Concentration and Ownership in Ten European Countries|url=http://77.87.161.246/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/A-Mapping-Study-of-Media-Concentration-and-Ownership-in-Ten-European-Countries.pdf|work=Dutch Media Authority|access-date=19 February 2014|year=2004}}{{cite web|title=Country Profile: Spain|url=http://www.mediadb.eu/en/data-base/eu-laenderportraets/spanien.html|publisher=Institute of Media and Communications Study|access-date=21 February 2015|archive-date=21 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150221222930/http://www.mediadb.eu/en/data-base/eu-laenderportraets/spanien.html|url-status=dead}} El Diario Vasco has a neutral political stance.{{cite book|author=Jan Mansvelt Beck|title=Territory and Terror: Conflicting Nationalisms in the Basque Country|date=2005|publisher=Routledge|location=New York|page=56|url=https://www.questia.com/read/108941138/territory-and-terror-conflicting-nationalisms-in|access-date=22 February 2015|archive-date=22 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150222164342/https://www.questia.com/read/108941138/territory-and-terror-conflicting-nationalisms-in|url-status=dead}}
