''La Voz de Galicia'' () is a Spanish daily newspaper owned by the Corporación Voz de Galicia. ''La Voz'' is the newspaper with the highest circulation in Galicia and the eighth-highest circulation of the general-interest daily newspaper in Spain. It is written primarily in Spanish with Galician used in the cultural and opinion sections. The newspaper was founded in 1882 by Juan Fernández Latorre and is published in
A Coruña A Coruña (; ; also informally called just Coruña; historical English: Corunna or The Groyne) is a city and municipality in Galicia, Spain. It is Galicia's second largest city, behind Vigo. The city is the provincial capital of the province ...
, Galicia. The paper has a digital version available in Spanish and Galician. However, the latter version is an automatic translation, whilst the original articles are written exclusively in Spanish.


History

In 1993, the circulation of ''La Voz'' was 107,446 copies. The paper had a circulation of 111,000 copies in 2003. The 2008 circulation of the paper was 103,341 copies. It was 94,844 copies in 2011.


Political allegiance

Like most Galician newspapers, ''La Voz de Galicia'' relies on regional government subsidies for its survival, heavily compromising its editorial independence. Following the 2009 Galician parliamentary elections in which the center-right People's Party of Galicia defeated the center-left Spanish Socialist Workers' Party- Bloque Nacionalista Galego coalition, the newspaper was awarded more than 4 million euros in subsidies. Other Galician media, like the defunct newspaper ''Xornal de Galicia'', born to compete with ''La Voz de Galicia'', claimed that this was rewarded for its political bias towards the ruling People's Party. This kept the paper alive, while other media disappeared because they lacked the financial support that they were entitled to as Galician language papers (the Spanish government provides extra funding to regions with several official languages in order to support their promotion).


Editions

''La Voz'' has also a weekly supplement, ''Golfiño''.
