Prisa

PRISA (Promotora de Informaciones, S.A.) is a Spanish media group headquartered in Madrid. It operates across news media, radio, education publishing, and digital platforms. Its portfolio centers on El País, the nation's leading daily newspaper; Cadena SER, a major radio network; and Santillana, a long-established educational publishing business serving Spain and the Spanish-speaking world. The group's businesses are active in Spain and throughout Latin America, with a presence in other markets through digital ventures.

The company was founded in 1972 by Jesús de Polanco as a family-owned publisher during Spain's transition to democracy. It expanded rapidly in the following decades, aligning with liberalising media markets and broadening its portfolio through acquisitions and partnerships. Santillana, as PRISA's education arm, publishes textbooks and digital learning materials; El País remains its flagship newspaper, with a broad online presence. Cadena SER operates nationally with several regional and local stations.

PRISA has faced financial challenges, including periods of debt and restructuring, particularly in the 2010s and 2020s, leading to asset sales and changes in control of various subsidiaries while maintaining major news and educational operations. The group continues to position itself as a leading Spanish-language media company with international reach in the Americas and beyond.
