La Vanguardia
OtherSince its foundation in 1881, La Vanguardia is a family-owned newspaper. Five generations of the Godó family have been at the head of the newspaper, maintaining a continuity that in the realm of international quality journals is comparable to that of the Sulzberger family in The New York Times or the Miter family in La Nación in Buenos Aires.
The founders, Don Carlos and Don Bartolomé Godó Pie, were industrialists from Igualada who had expanded their textile business in the Basque Country. Militants both (and then deputies) of the Liberal Party of Práxedes Mateo Sagasta, then subjected to strong internal tensions, decided to launch La Vanguardia as a vehicle of political struggle, with the progressive vocation that its title illustrated.
