El País and Condé Nast launch new weekly magazine

Condé Nast Publications and Ediciones El País are to launch a new weekly magazine on newsstands in September that will be distributed together and inseparably from the Saturday edition of El País. Drawing on the experience of Condé Nast and the leadership enjoyed by El País newspaper, the magazine - in print and online and available in all digital formats --- is expected to set the standard in the world of content aimed at women, and open a new era in the weekly magazine market, thanks to its unique approach to fashion, beauty, society and current affairs.

Condé Nast and EL PAÍS have created a joint venture, Ediciones Conelpa, which is 50% owned by each company. The managing editor is Empar Prieto, with over 18 years experience in newspapers. Elena Ferreras, until now director of advertising for Glamour, is to head advertising. Javier Pascual del Olmo, president of Conde Nast Spain, Mexico and Latin America, will be president of the new company and Maria Frias, until now strategy manager at El País, will be managing director.

Condé Nast Publications, publisher of Vogue, Vanity Fair, Glamour, AD, GQ and CN Traveler, among other titles, is present in over 21 countries. It is world revenue and advertising leader in the field of quality magazines thanks to the influential and trend-setting nature of its portfolio of titles and carefully targeted audiences. It publishes 135 different magazines titles worldwide with over 100 websites. El País, which this year celebrates its 35th anniversary, is the leading newspaper in both the Spanish and Latin American markets.
