'''La Nación''' is an
Argentine daily
newspaper. It is on the right of the political spectrum, with the centrist ''
Clarín'' being its main competitor. Its recent editorial stance has tended to fall into line with the Unión Radical party. It is the only newspaper in Argentina still published in
broadsheet format.
The daily was re-named in
August 28 1945, having formerly been ''La Nación Argentina'', founded in
January 4 1870 preeminently by former Argentine president
Bartolomé Mitre and associates. Until
1914, the managing editor was
Jose Luis Murature, Foreign Minister of Argentina from 1914-1916.
With over 100 years of circulation, its share is 30% of all newspapers sold in Buenos Aires, and is distributed all over the country and world-wide.
The most famous writers in the
Spanish-speaking world, from
José Martí,
Unamuno,
José Ortega y Gasset and
Rubén Darío to
Alfonso Reyes,
Jorge Luis Borges and
Manuel Mujica Laínez have appeared regularly in its columns.
