Ara (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈaɾə], meaning Now in English) is a Catalan daily Spanish newspaper that began publication on 28 November 2010, coinciding with the 2010 Catalan regional election. It is the third most read daily newspaper in Catalonia,[1] and the most read daily newspaper written exclusively in the Catalan language.[2] Its regional edition, Ara Balears, is the most popular Catalan language newspaper on the Balearic Islands.[3] ARA's online edition had nearly 3.2M visitors in September 2017, making it the most popular online newspaper in Catalan language.[4]
The founding editor was Carles Capdevila and the current editor is Esther Vera. The president is Ferran Rodés and the CEO is Salvador Garcia. The newspaper's advisory council includes journalists Antoni Bassas, Albert Om and Toni Soler, all known for their work with the Catalan public TV broadcaster, TV3.
