ARA is a newspaper founded 15 years ago by a group of entrepreneurs from the journalistic, publishing, and business fields in Catalonia, committed to society, with a critical spirit but not entrenched in criticism. Over the years, it has become a benchmark for news in the country, a leader in Catalan, and a pioneer in subscriptions throughout Spain. A media outlet that informs and reflects on current events in a variety of formats—print and digital, written and audiovisual—through free and committed journalism.
With more than 150 employees, who are the newspaper's main asset, ARA believes in teamwork, flexibility, and individual and collective responsibility to deliver rigorous, honest, and high-quality journalism.
