El Ibérico is a free newspaper printed and distributed in London, England. The newspaper has fortnightly editions and is London's only Spanish language newspaper.
History[edit]
El Ibérico was founded in 2010 by Paco de la Coba. During the first year of activity, sales were profitable enough to pay for the next edition and so on.[2]
In 2015, the distribution of El Ibérico started to grow outside of London to cities such as Leeds, Manchester, Brighton, Dublin and Edinburgh.[2]
In July 2016, El Ibérico was the first news outlet to talk about the Byron Hamburgers' scandal that involved trapping illegal immigrants into a fake job application to feed a government raid on illegal immigration.[3]
Editorial[edit]
Whilst focussing on London's Hispanic community, the newspaper prints stories about both the UK and Spain.[4]
Distribution[edit]
Like most other free newspaper publications in London, it is mainly distributed outside tube stations,[5] mainly around the "ethnic enclaves" of the city.[6] The newspaper also gets circulation in Spanish restaurants, Spanish-speaking embassies, and regular commercial outlets willing to distribute it. Since 2015, the newspaper is distributed in other major cities of the United Kingdom.[2]
