El Globo was a Spanish daily newspaper which was in circulation between 1875 and 1932 in Madrid, Spain. Its subtitle was diario ilustrado (es|Illustrated Daily). It was among the influential publications of the period during which it existed.
El Globo was launched by Emilio Castelar, a Spanish politician, in Madrid in 1875, and its first issue appeared on 25 March 1875.[1] Its political stance was moderate-possibilist republicanism.[2] [3] In 1885, another Spanish politician, Eleuterio Maisonnave, acquired the paper.[1] The next owner was Álvaro de Figueroa, who bought El Globo in 1896,[1] changing its political stance to liberal monarchism.[4] The paper was sold to the Catalan deputy Emilio Ríus y Peniquet in 1902.[1] Its last owner was Magdaleno de Castro.[1]
El Globo published a literary supplement entitled Plana del Lunes in 1897–1898.[5] Due to lower circulation levels, the frequency of the paper was switched from daily to twice per week in 1923.[1] Under the ownership of Magdaleno de Castro, it was published on a weekly basis.[1] The final issue of El Globo was published on 31 May 1932.[1]
El Globo was directed by Joaquín Martín de Olías from 1877.[1] Between 1890 and 1896, the paper was directed by Alfredo Vicenti Rey.[1] Its major contributors included Francisco Navarro Ledesma, Andrés Ovejero, Baldomero Argente, Manuel Castro Tiedra and Manuel Tercero.[1]
El Globo sold 25,000 copies in 1880.[1] Its circulation was 8,000 copies in 1913, which dropped to 2,000 copies in 1920.[1]
