About El País
El País was founded on September 14, 1918, by Leonel Aguirre, Eduardo Rodríguez Larreta, and Washington Beltrán Barbat. It is owned by El País S.A. In 2019, the newspaper was acquired by the Argentine Grupo Litoral, led by Nahuel Caputto, which also owns other Argentine newspapers.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates El País (Uruguay) as having a Left-Center bias, citing story selection and editorial positions that slightly favor the left. Ground News also assigns a Lean Left bias and a Very High factuality rating, based on aggregated scores from Media Bias/Fact Check and Ad Fontes Media. The outlet is noted for high factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record. While Uruguay generally enjoys strong press freedoms, Reporters Without Borders and Freedom House have noted increasing pressure on journalists and concerns about media concentration in recent years. The headline sample reflects a broad range of national news, including government actions, legal matters, and daily services, consistent with a paper-of-record.
