Founded by Javier Moll, the company traces back its origins to 1978, with the creation of Prensa Canaria,[1] the editor of the morning newspaper La Provincia and the evening newspaper Diario de Las Palmas. Yet the creation of Editorial Prensa Ibérica took place in 1984,[2] following the acquisition in a public auction of La Nueva España (Asturias), Levante-EMV (Valencia) and Información (Alicante) from the Medios de Comunicación Social del Estado, the State-owned media holding liquidated by the Felipe González's government,[3] a renaming of the Francoist Cadena de Prensa del Movimiento. It also purchased the Faro de Vigo.[3] The group consolidated together with its rival Vocento as the two largest regional media holdings in Spain.[4]
The company purchased Grupo Zeta in 2019,[n. 1][6] adding newspapers such as El Periódico de Catalunya, El Periódico de Aragón, El Periódico Extremadura, La Crónica de Badajoz, Córdoba, Mediterráneo, Sport and La Grada.[7][8] In 2021, Prensa Ibérica decided to move its headquarters from Barcelona to L'Hospitalet de Llobregat.[9] In June 2021, the group hired Fernando Garea to launch a new newspaper based in Madrid,[10] later disclosed to be named as El Periódico de España.[11]
