Ultimas Noticias
Ultimas Noticias is the highest selling daily newspaper in Venezuela. It was founded in Caracas in 1941 after the pro-freedom measures implemented by President Medina Angarita.
Nowadays it publishes the number of 170,000 papers a day .
Its own market studies reveals that 96.3% of its readers are found in "social sectors C, D and E", this is, the lower-income classes. For that reason its supporters dub it el periodico del pueblo (the people's newspaper).
Politics
Ideologically Ultimas Noticias is in the center-left of the political spectrum, and is friendlier to President Hugo Chavez than Venezuela's other two top dailies, El Nacional and El Universal. A 2005 survey of the newspaper's readership carried out by polling firm Datanalisis found that their most appreciated value was "independence," and the paper was perceived by readers in the following way:
74.2% as an unbiased source
13.5% as biased towards the government
3.6% as biased towards the opposition
